Additionally, retinal changes were analyzed using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: A total of 31 young subjects (24 ± 4 years) participated in this study. They read for 21 min on an Ebook and for another 21 min on an iPad under controlled lighting conditions while their eye movements were monitored using an eye tracker. Aberrometry and retinal OCT measurements were taken before and after each reading session. Parameters such as pupil diameter, fixations, saccades, blinks, total aberration, high-order aberration, low-order aberration, and central and peripheral retinal thickness in the nine early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) areas were measured for each reading situation. Statistical analysis was performed on the collected data. Results: No statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) between the two devices were observed in terms of the different types of eye movements or the changes in retinal thickness. However, the aberrometric analysis showed variations in post-reading situations depending on the device used. Conclusion: Reading speed and visual discomfort resulting from electronic device usage can be objectively assessed using an eye tracker and aberrometer. Additionally, changes found in central and peripheral retinal thickness between the two devices and the baseline measurements were not significant and remained relatively stable. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/LMP39_21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/956720/EU/Opto-Biomechanical Eye Research Network/OBERON This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 956720-OBERON info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-107058RB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.2 2023 BIOLOGY 26 / 109 = 0.239 2023 Q1 T1 0.713 2023 Paleontology 2023 Q1 Space and Planetary Science 2023 Q2 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) 2023 Q2 Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics 2023 Q2 4.3 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Munarriz-Escribano, María Sanchez-Cano, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5621-1937 2002 647 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
