Title Eye examination by the industrial physician during the pre-employment examination of VDU operators
Original title L'examen visuel par le médecin du travail au cours de la visite d'embauchage pour le travail sur écran [in French]
Bibliographic information 1984, Vol.45, No.1, p.57-61.
Abstract Description of eye examinations that an industrial physician can conduct by himself, with simple equipment, in order to obtain most of the needed information for a thorough pre-employment checkup (aptitude determination) for VDU work. The examination should concentrate on intermediate vision and on the possibility of correcting defects in binocular vision. This eye examination also serves as the basis for later eye examinations by a specialist.
