Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of technology in recent years, the morbidity of visual display terminal symptom (VDTS) has been rising. Most visual display terminal (VDT) workers have the symptoms of "dry eye, ocular pain, stuffy head, and blurred vision" after watching the screen for a long time. Currently, the pathogenesis of VDTS is still unclear. Some studies reported that the occurrence of VDTS was the result of multiple factors, such as the work environment, VDT image quality, operating posture and so on. Because of the increasingly serious damages caused by VDTS, it is urgent to develop effective prevention and treatment measures. This paper reviews the recent advances in VDTS treatment. In addition to improving the operating conditions of VDT, eye drops and systematic treatment are also effective. It is hoped that these data can provide some guidance for the treatment of VDTS.

Key words: Visual display terminal, Asthenopia, Treatment
