ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate changes of attention in elementary school students based on the color of their eyeglass lenses. Methods : This study was conducted using a Computerized Neurocognitive-function Test(CNT) and measured Electroencephalogram (EEG) to investigate changes of attention based on the eyeglass lens color of the subjects. A total of 30 1st to 4th grade elementary school students living in W-dong, Daejeon Metropolitan City were tested. The CPT was measured a total of five times, when glasses with no tint were worn, and when red, yellow, blue, and black tinted glasses were worn. Results : Based on the EEGs taken during the CPT, which compared cases when glasses with and without tinted lenses were worn, and the lens color when tinted glasses were used, each of 4 areas, relative alpha, beta relative, learning, and attention, showed levels of p< .05 , with statistically significant differences. Conclusion : Black and blue tinted lens glasses are expected to have a positive influence on attention.
