OBJECTIVE: To examine the scientific data in the literature regarding eye problems and possible damage during the use of computer video display terminals. DATA SOURCES: Medline and non-Medline literature search and personal experience. STUDY SELECTION: Studies that provided evidence-based information about eye damage and eye care during the use of video display terminals were selected. DATA EXT...

Use of video display terminals during pregnancy and the risk of spontaneous abortion, low birthweight, or intrauterine growth retardation.

Use of video display terminals (VDTs) during pregnancy among working women was examined using data from a large case-control study of spontaneous abortions (SAB) occurring in 1986-1987. The crude odds ratio for SAB and VDT use was 1.2 for use of less than 20 hours per week (95% CI = 0.88, 1.6) as well as for 20 hours or more (CI = 0.87, 1.5), with little change after adjustment for a variety of...

The study of Relationship between Mental Work Load and Sleep Quality in Video Display Terminals Users

Background & objectives: One of the factors affecting the performance of video display terminal users is their mental work load. Since low sleep quality causes fault and decreased accuracy in work, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between mental work load and sleep quality in video display terminals users. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 191 video d...

Predicting Flicker Thresholds for Video Display Terminals

This paper describes an analytical method for predicting whether a video display terminal will appear to flicker given the screen phosphor persistence, refresh frequencies, and other environmental factors such as ambient light level, the distance between the viewer and the display, etc. From the method, one can predict the maximum screen luminance and the minimum refresh frequency that will gen...
