Non strabismic binocular vision disorders are highly prevalent conditions. Patients report to eye care practitioners with symptoms of eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision etc. These conditions are generally missed out unless a complete orthoptic and binocular vision examination is performed. Treatment of these conditions is very successful with vision therapy, lenses and prisms. Successful trea...

Simulated immersive environments displayed on large screens are a valuable therapeutic asset in the treatment of a range of psychological disorders. Permanent environments are expensive to build and maintain, require specialized clinician training and technical support and often have limited accessibility for clients. Ideally, virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) could be accessible to the b...

OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study was done to find the prevalence of eye strain and other ocular morbidities among students in Udupi, Karnataka. METHODS The study protocol included interview, visual acuity examination using Snellen chart, and measuring classroom illumination through lux meter. RESULTS 26% students had visual morbidity and the most prevalent symptoms of eyestrain were hea...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to investigate the reflectance of various colours and effects of vary-ing colours on human working and production. different colours have different reflectance and energy associ-ated with it. colours play a significant role in the colour scheme of the houses, offices, factories etc. the col-ours may be seen on walls, tabletops, equipment, machines etc. in...

Accessibility to simulated environments generally is limited by the availability of sophisticated hardware and software. An alluring option could be to use a portable computer, thereby availing simulation training to a widerranging client base in a more economical and efficient way. However, one problem associated with some of the screen based simulation environments can be the client reports o...

OBJECTIVES I-Preventive is a digital preventive tool for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in computer workers. We sought to determine its impact on pain in computer workers with upper limb MSDs and visual discomfort. METHODS We conducted a pilot cluster randomised trial in 2 different sites of a tyre factory in France. We randomised 200 employees to either an intervention group (I-Preventive)...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of VDT monitor positions and the use of single vision versus bifocal glasses on somatic elements in the data entry task. Eight male subjects performed data entry using a word processor in eight half-hour sessions with the four different monitor placements, i.e. "eye-level", "shoulder-level-front", "shoulder-level-side", and "sunken-level", wearing ...
