Abstract
- In order to observe the influence of visual display terminal (VDT) work on accommodative function, we measured accommodative power, accommodative constriction time and accommodative response / accommodative stimulus ratio (Ar / As) by infrared optometer on 15 normal subjects who were not exposed to VDT work before. VDT task was programed to search a specified Korean alphabet letter among randomized letters for 90 minutes. After VDT task, accommodative constriction time was prolonged, near point extended and accommodative power decreased in all subjects (p<0.05, by paired t-test). After resting for 30 minutes, constriction time, near point and accommodative power had a tendency to return to the previous normal value. Accommodative response / accommodative stimulus ratio (Ar / As) was decreased according to the duration of VDT work but no statistical difference was found between before and after VDT work. From this study, it is suggested that the function of accommodation seems to be affected by VDT work.
