About

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mobile application works to improve adherence to acupressure therapy in asthenopia. It will also learn about the efficacy of acupressure as a therapy for asthenopia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

-Does a mobile application have a role to improve therapy compliance and efficacy of self-guided acupressure in asthenopia?

Researchers will compare users of a mobile app to non-users of a mobile app to see if a mobile app works to improve adherence to acupressure therapy in asthenopia

Participants will:

  • Do acupressure 2 times every day for 4 weeks
  • Filling in the absence link has been after doing acupressure every day
  • Fill out the link regarding the condition of asthenopia once per week
