โฆ Synopsis
We have investigated the effects of a range of workstation factors upon the visual symptoms experienced by a group of 92 visual display terminal (VDT) users. Subjects in the study kept a diary over five consecutive working days in which they recorded the types of visual and postural symptoms which occurred and the types of work tasks being performed. Each subject's workstation was analysed for screen legibility and stability, discomfort and disability glare, and required head postures. By the use of multiple regression analysis techniques we have considered the relative contribution of these factors to the symptoms reported by the users of these workstations. Screen legibility significantly influenced the occurrence of symptoms of ocular discomfort and vertical head movements significantly affected the incidence of postural/headache symptoms.
