[Sanitary classification of publishing products]

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Publishing Science
• Ergonomics

Background:

• Reading involves a natural asthenopic pattern, necessitating specific sanitary standards in publishing.
• Publications vary in functional use, impacting readers differently based on age and visual physiology.
• Existing standards may not adequately address the visual load associated with diverse reading materials and age groups.

Purpose of the Study:

• To establish sanitary standards for publishing production, focusing on print type styling and quality.
• To develop a sanitary classification system for publishing production.
• To address the physiological needs of different age groups concerning visual load during reading.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of the natural asthenopic pattern during reading.
• Research into the physiological features of vision across different age groups.
• Assessment of the actual visual load while reading various publication types.

Main Results:

• Identified the necessity of sanitary standards for print type styling and publication quality.
• Developed a sanitary classification of publishing production.
• The classification is based on actual visual load and reader age-specific visual features.

Conclusions:

• A sanitary classification of publishing production is essential.
• This classification accounts for varied functional uses of publications and age-related visual physiology.
• The developed system aims to optimize reading comfort and visual health.
