Arms

  • Experimental: Violet + / Lens +
    Subjects use a violet light emitting lamp (device intervention - minimally invasive as it's simply a source of light) with CR-39 lenses for their refractive correction. The lamp introduces violet light (Violet +) and the CR-39 lenses allow for the transmission of violet light through the lenses (Lens +).
  • Experimental: Violet + / Lens -
    Subjects use a violet light emitting lamp (device intervention - minimally invasive as it's simply a source of light) with polycarbonate lenses for their refractive correction. The lamp introduces violet light (Violet +) while the polycarbonate lenses block the transmission of violet light through the lenses (Lens -).
  • Placebo Comparator: Violet - / Lens +
    Subjects use a lamp with NO violet light (Violet -) with CR-39 lenses for their refractive correction. CR-39 lenses allow for the transmission of violet light through the lenses (Lens +).
