Summary: This study found no significant effect of using a B-B filter on orbicularis oculi muscle activity or visual symptoms during a 30-minute reading task. These findings suggest that B-B filters do not alleviate signs and symptoms of digital eye strain.

Summary: The study found that both soft contact lens wearers and non-contact lens wearers commonly experience eye fatigue symptoms when using digital devices, with differences in frequency and severity of certain symptoms between the two groups. Principal component analysis revealed distinct patterns of eye fatigue symptoms.

Summary: Digital eye strain is a complex condition caused by excessive screen time exposure to electronic devices, with oxidative damage and chronic inflammation identified as significant mechanisms. Micronutrients with nutraceutical properties show potential in alleviating ocular symptoms associated with digital eye strain, particularly through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Further research and randomized controlled trials are needed to validate the clinical benefits of adjunctive nutraceutical strategies in treating digital eye strain.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate if blue-blocking lenses are effective in reducing eye strain associated with computer use, and the results showed that blue-blocking lenses did not alter signs or symptoms of eye strain. Additionally, clinician advocacy type did not have any impact on clinical outcomes.

Summary: This case report discusses patients who experienced asthenopic symptoms after recovering from COVID-19 infection and investigates the associated changes in refractive error. It suggests that COVID-19 infection may lead to an inability of the ciliary body muscle to sustain accommodation, resulting in ocular fatigue.

Summary: The retina is an important tissue in the eye, and exposure to light can induce oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions in retinal cells, leading to retinal damage-related diseases and asthenopia. Plant bioactive compounds have antioxidant effects and can alleviate retinal damage and asthenopia. Understanding these mechanisms can better protect the retina and reduce asthenopia.

Summary: In this study, the qualitative and quantitative composition of anthocyanins and anthocyanidins in different cultivars and genetic clones of American cranberries grown in Lithuanian climatic conditions were analyzed. The study found that different cranberry cultivars contained various anthocyanin compounds, and compared the cultivars using hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Additionally, the antioxidant effect of cranberry fruit sample extracts was evaluated.

Summary: This paper proposes an automatic identification method for bridge structure damage areas based on digital images, which effectively achieves contour carving and quantitative characterization of bridge structure damage areas. The method can improve the damage area measurement accuracy of the current bridge structure and provide more data support for the detection and maintenance of bridges.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) and other occupational health concerns among employees using VDT screens in Nepalese offices. The results showed a high prevalence of CVS, which was associated with not using preventive measures, working long hours, and having an incorrect viewing distance.

Summary: This paper presents a novel quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) approach for detecting damage to reinforced concrete (RC) buildings from images after an earthquake. The QCNN model is developed and trained using RC building damaged images collected from past earthquakes, and its performance is evaluated based on real-world RC building damaged images from the recent earthquake in Turkey in February 2023. Furthermore, the seismic damage detection accuracy obtained from the QCNN model is compared with various CNN architecture results.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between the usage of visual display terminal (VDT) and symptoms related to computer vision syndrome (CVS) in a large population including both white-collar and blue-collar workers. Results showed that the risk of headache/eyestrain and suspected CVS significantly increased in the group with the highest VDT usage at work. Regardless of occupational classification, the use of VDT in the workplace was found to increase the risk of headache/eyestrain, highlighting the importance of paying attention to the health of VDT workers and improving their working conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to use digital images to predict the total carotenoids content (TCC) of cassava roots based on their pulp color. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the b* and chroma indices and TCC, while the L* parameter showed no significant correlation. The predictive models had high accuracy, with the artificial neural network model performing the best with the smallest error.
