Visual characteristics and fatigue of visual work

[Work, fatigue, and critical visual fusion frequency].

Near work, visual fatigue, and variations of oculomotor tonus.

One hour of near work produced adaptive changes in the resting states of accommodation and binocular vergence, which may be responsible for different aspects of visual fatigue. Two groups of college students read from either hard copy or a video display terminal (VDT). Immediately before and after reading, the subjects' distance acuity, dark vergence, dark focus, and accommodative response accu...

Effects of polyphenol on visual fatigue caused by VDT work.

Visual fatigue of VDT (visual display terminal) operators poses a serious problem for corporations where VDT work is a major part of operations. In this study, an investigation in a corporation was carried out to examine the effect of polyphenol on recovery from visual fatigue of the visual function caused by working at a VDT. Three kinds of parameters were used for evaluating the effect of pol...

Visual Fatigue and Performances for the 40-min Mixed Visual Work with a Projected Screen

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the visual angle and ambient illumination effects on visual fatigue and performances while viewing from a projected screen for 40 minutes. Methods: Visual angle (16, 24 and 48 min arc of Chinese character height) and ambient illumination (200 and 750 lux) were the independent variables in this study. Change in critical flicker frequency (...

Effects of visual deprivation on synaptic plasticity of visual cortex

  TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
