Although there is no reliable evidence to suggest that even long-term intensive use of VDUs is damaging to the eyes, it is true that VDU users tend to complain of eye strain more than non-users. This is likely to be due to fatigue through causes such as:
-
Insufficient and infrequent rest periods
-
Incorrect positioning of the screen and/or documents
-
Unsuitable lighting
-
Poorly designed work area
-
An uncorrected eyesight fault such as long sight, short sight, astigmatitism or presbyopia
-
The eyes not working ‘as a team’
Any of these conditions could lead to fatigue; all can be overcome through good design of the working environment and by regular eye care.
In order to counteract the visual fatigue syndrome, induced by VDUs, we prescribe a specialised lens to alleviate many of the named symptoms.
