ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a Turkish version of the Digital Eye Strain Questionnaire (DESQ), which is designed to help understand how digital devices affect our eyes. The goal is to adapt this questionnaire to fit Turkish-speaking adults and to check if it is reliable and valid for measuring eye strain. The researchers are currently looking for participants, specifically adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who spend at least two continuous hours a day on digital devices like computers, tablets, or smartphones.

To take part in this study, individuals should not have had any eye surgeries or active eye diseases, and they must be able to understand the instructions and provide consent. Participants will help researchers by completing the questionnaire to share their experiences with eye strain from digital device use. This is an important step in ensuring that the tool works well for the Turkish-speaking population, which can lead to better understanding and management of eye strain issues in the future.
