A new visual test effectively evaluates seamen's visual capacity, detecting uncorrected refractive errors and early eye diseases. This morphoscopic discrimination test is crucial for professional aptitude, especially in maritime roles.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Visual Science
  • Occupational Health

Context:

  • Traditional visual acuity tests are insufficient for assessing professional aptitude in roles like ship pilotage.
  • Evaluating visual capacity in seamen requires tests that consider variable contrast and luminance conditions.
  • Early diagnosis of ocular abnormalities is critical for maintaining professional capabilities.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate an ergonomic test for visual capacity assessment in professional seamen.
  • To diagnose ocular abnormalities early in maritime professionals.
  • To determine the effectiveness of a morphoscopic discrimination test with variable contrast and luminance.

Summary:

  • 159 professional seamen were tested using a morphoscopic sense test with variable contrast and luminance.

  • The study detected ametropias, hypertensive retinopathies, and optical neuropathies.
  • Results indicated that visual acuity alone does not guarantee visual efficiency, especially in low contrast or luminance conditions.

    • Impact:

    • The developed test is informative, sensitive, and reliable for detecting uncorrected ametropia and early-stage organic pathologies.
    • This assessment method can improve the accuracy of professional aptitude evaluations for seamen.
    • Highlights the importance of contrast sensitivity testing beyond standard visual acuity measures.
