Abstract :

This study was aimed at drawing a comparison between the Arden ratio and blink rates obtained through EOG reading. The study was designed to record the EOG pattern of the individuals while reading the hard copy of a matter and digital copy of the same in the computer during dark and ight illumination. The results were analysed. The statistical analysis was done. Analysis of the Arden ratio showed a statistically significant ratio with a P–Value 0.026. An Arden ratio less than 1.85 is considered pathogenic. The analysis of blink rate was not statistically significant due to small sample size and small duration of computer usage.
