摘要
This article is a review of the international literature regarding health consequences for visual display unit (VDU) workers. The 2 main problems reported by VDU workers, visual discomfort and musculoskeletal pain, are particularly focused. Important factors for designing the lighting system and workplace are given. A procedure for optometric corrections is discussed. This article emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation to reduce visual discomfort and musculoskeletal pain.
