Development and testing of a Lightweight, All-Day Glasses-Mounted Wearable: Investigating the Visual Environment in Children for Myopia Risk Assessment
Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of myopia, caused by elongation of the eye, has increased dramatically. Researchers suggest that both light intensity and the range of viewing distances may influence myopia risk in children, but this remains unconfirmed. Investigating these environmental factors is therefore essential. While wearable devices have been used to gather relevant data, they often fall short, failing to measure spectral light content, estimate viewing distances across the central and near-peripheral visual field, or collect data at eye level. This study introduces a new solution: a lightweight, glasses-mounted system designed to improve comfort, usability, and recording duration. It is composed of a microcontroller-based system, providing a strong balance of computing power and energy efficiency, supporting full-day data collection.
