| Abstract |
Survey of 750 persons, 105 of whom were employed on VDU terminals (52 men and 53 women). There was no significant distress in 57% of the persons in question (a majority of men). Ophthalmological examination was normal in 2/3 of cases, and 1 case in 5 showed evidence of minor anomalies. The disorders were primarily of a visual nature and affected mainly women working full time with a long history of this type of work. Special medical supervision seems justified. |
