PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a protective sheet in reducing eye strain caused by unnecessary light reflection on portable liquid crystal display panels while playing Game Boy (Nintendo, Kyoto, Japan).
DESIGN: Nonrandomized clinical trial.
METHODS: The blink rates of 24 normal volunteers were measured under relaxed conditions while viewing a portable liquid crystal display panel and playing Game Boy with and without the protective sheet of polyethylene terephthalate with antiglare coating for a total of 10 minutes each.
RESULTS: The results showed a dramatic increase (from 5.6 ± 3 to 9.1 ± 4.9 [P < .0001]) in blinks/minute with use of the protective sheet.
CONCLUSION: The protective sheet has shown the possibility of increasing the blink rate by making the screen easier to see.
