Summary
This master's thesis explores how the ratio of direct to indirect lighting in office settings contributes to asthenopia (eye strain), a common complaint in workplace environments. Understanding optimal direct/indirect light ratios can guide lighting designers in specifying luminaire types and layouts that minimize visual discomfort for office workers.
