Question 52

Dr Vance conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of blue-light blocking glasses on evening visual fatigue. Participants read a digital tablet screen for two hours before bedtime. One group wore standard clear glasses, while the other group wore blue-light blocking glasses. Visual fatigue was measured on a scale from 0 to 50, where higher scores indicate greater fatigue.

The descriptive statistics from the study are shown below:

  • Condition X (Standard Clear Glasses): Mean visual fatigue score = 38.4 (SD = 8.2)
  • Condition Y (Blue-Light Blocking Glasses): Mean visual fatigue score = 21.6 (SD = 3.1)

State one conclusion from Dr Vance's results.
