    Office work, especially using visual display units (VDUs), frequently causes eye impairments that persist after work. High screen contrast and flickering text worsen eye strain and reduce visual acuity.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health
    • Ophthalmology
    • Human-computer interaction

    Context:

    • Office environments involve diverse tasks, including data entry, conversational terminals, traditional work, and typing.
    • Visual display unit (VDU) operators experience a higher incidence of eye impairments compared to other office roles.
    • These visual impairments can extend beyond working hours into leisure time.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence and nature of eye impairments across different office task groups.
    • To identify specific visual display unit (VDU) characteristics associated with increased eye strain and visual discomfort.
    • To understand the persistence of eye impairments in office workers.

    Summary:

    • Eye impairments are prevalent across all studied office tasks but are significantly more frequent among visual display unit (VDU) operators.

  • High luminance contrast between screens and source documents correlates with a greater number of eye-related issues.
  • Increased character luminance oscillation is linked to reduced visual acuity and a higher occurrence of eye irritation symptoms, including increased eye drop usage.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the occupational health risks associated with prolonged VDU use.
    • Informs the design of VDU interfaces and workplace lighting to mitigate visual discomfort.
    • Underscores the need for ergonomic assessments and potential interventions for office workers experiencing eye strain.
