This study aims to compare the effects of LED illumination and natural-light illumination on physiological responses in patients with broadly defined open-angle glaucoma and control participants. Changes associated with light exposure under each lighting condition will be assessed based on tear-film and pupillary examinations, ocular blood flow measurements, optical coherence tomography, assessment of autonomic nervous system function, tear oxidative stress markers, salivary stress markers, contrast sensitivity, reading performance, and questionnaires assessing subjective symptoms. By comprehensively analyzing physiological responses to different lighting environments, this study aims to obtain foundational evidence that may help identify suitable lighting environments for patients with glaucoma.
