Abstract Review of the last 10 years' work on visual fatigue. Principal themes: subjective symptoms, physiological changes (pupillary diameter, accommodation, ocular movement, blinking, vergence, phorias, critical flicker fusion frequency, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual evoked potentials), visual performance, persistence of fatigue, methodological bias. Summaries of results are presented for each theme. They show that visual fatigue takes many forms, and its appearance depends on many factors.
