Effect of subjective and objective workload on asthenopia at VDU workplaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ergophthalmological tool has been developed to investigate effects of subjective and objective workload on work-related visual complaints (asthenopia). In field studies on different visual display unit (VDU) workplaces effects of objective and subjective workload, work intensity, and work breaks (5-9 min/hour) could be found. It could be shown that during the first hours of VDU work, asthenopic complaints have the tendency to follow effective workload. With increasing working time the effect of a general and visual fatigue overlaps other reported visual complaints in the majority of cases.

متن کاملMethod inventory for assessment of physical activity at VDU workplaces.
Physical inactivity and prolonged static work tasks may seriously affect health. There are numerous indications that promoting physical activity (PA) at sedentary workplaces can reduce these health risks. However, PA interventions have so far been documented rarely on the basis of medical parameters. Effects on the PA behavior are often studied only through the methods of subjective self-assess...

For large scale testing it is advantageous to have investigation methods which are easily applied and do not need the intervention of specialists or even of test assistants. In order to create such measuring methods we have realized new ophthalmic tests as presentations on a VDU screen. These new tests will hypothetically fit the problem of visual fatigue better than do the classical means beca...
