Abstract

The rate of myopia in children is increasing rapidly under online learning scenarios. One of the important reasons for this is incorrect reading and writing posture. Three screen view parameters (viewing angle, viewing height, and viewing distance) are selected as significant influencing factors and blink rating is used as a sign of visual fatigue through literature analysis to study the influence factors of myopia in children, and their correlation. Children's visual fatigue is evaluated by subjective evaluation and is recording using an eye tracker for changes in the three factors through online learning scenario simulation experiment. An optimal regression model is constructed that illustrates the relationship between the three variables and the visual fatigue levels. The aim of this study is to confirm the quantitative relationship between the screen view parameters and visual fatigue, and to design a child vision protection product on this basis. The test results show there is a linear positive correlation between the viewing angle, viewing height, and viewing distance. A vision protection device has been designed based on this model and was verified through function prototype testing. The result of this study quantified the relationship among screen view parameters and children's visual fatigue, which provides a theoretical basis for the design of a children's visual protection device.
