Objectives: To investigate the effect of contact lenses with blue light filters on contrast sensitivity and any alteration in tear quantity and quality. Methods: This prospective longitudinal pilot study required three visits by each participant. Monocular visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, phenol red thread test, and tear breakup time were measured at each visit. Results: There were significant differences in logarithmic contrast sensitivity between the groups. The breakup time (BUT) was significantly lower after using video display terminals than before (P,0.05). No differences in BUT were found between groups video display terminals and contact lenses having the blue filter (P.0.05). However, higher mean values were observed in the group after video display terminal use with contact lenses having the blue filter than that with standard contact lenses (P.0.05 in both groups). Furthermore, the mean value of phenol red thread test on the group after video display terminal use with contact lenses having the blue filter was lower than the group before its use (P.0.05). Conclusion:The results establish a possible relationship between tear stability, improved contrast sensitivity, and the use of a blue filter in contact lenses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
