Abstract
Purpose: The most common symptoms of eyes on VDT syndrome and symptoms-related the factors were investigated. Methods: Self-questionnaire for VDT syndrome was done with 250 teachers from 1st to 15th October, 2010, and the data from 231 teachers (68 male, 163 female) was statistically analyzed to find the factors related to ocular symptoms. Results: The most common ocular symptom on VDT syndrome was 'feeling of eyes fatigue', and the factors which have correlation significantly to ocular symptoms were regular exercise, ages, VDT work time, and regular resting. Conclusions: Taking a rest and regular exercise contribute to relieve the ocular symptoms related to VDT syndrome.
