[Functional status of the visual analyzer in operators working with displays]

Area of Science:

• Occupational Health
• Ophthalmology
• Human-Computer Interaction

Context:

• Focuses on data processing sections within computer centers.
• Examines 48 operators with consistent display terminal usage.
• Investigates working conditions, psychologic work patterns, and visual analyzer function.

Purpose:

• To assess the impact of display terminal use on operator visual health.
• To identify common complaints and functional changes in visual perception.
• To propose recommendations for improving occupational environments.

Summary:

• Operators reported significant visual fatigue and altered color perception.
• Retinal angiodystonia was observed in a notable number of participants.
• Findings indicate a direct correlation between prolonged display use and visual impairment.

Impact:

• Provides evidence for the occupational risks associated with display terminals.
• Informs the development of ergonomic guidelines and workplace interventions.
• Aims to enhance the well-being and functional capacity of display operators.
