  • Video display units (VDU) are interfaces between computers and human operators. This study was performed to have a good understanding of the potential causes of eye problems in 50 students to enable them to perform an accurate assessment of the patient's visual performance while looking at a computer screen. The TSS Optometric Toolkit for Computer Users provides a powerful set of tools to enable eye care practitioners to assess visual performance under conditions that closely simulate a computer user's normal working conditions. The program consists of seven tests: Near vision chart, Sample text display, Spreadsheet display, Fixation disparity, Duochrome, Number search, Randolt Ring search. The results of this study show that 55% of the subjects do not have computer-related eye problems. It is apparent from this data that approximately 25% of all computer-related eye problems are attributable to the display screen, the workstation or inappropriate workpractices. Of the remaining cases, 20% of them will require general purpose spectacles and spectacles specifically for work at the computer. This study suggests that computer program, The TSS Optometric Toolkit for Computer Users, is very useful for assessment of computer-related eye problems.

  • Among five sense organs or Gyanendriyas 'Eyes' are considered as most important sense organs. They are said to be the path to mind and seat of Tejas (Light). Now a days due to their overuse and negligence in maintenance we are facing many eye related problems like Dry Eye Syndrome, Cataract, Age related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Computer Vision Syndrome etc. To observe the association of defective lifestyle and related eye problems with their preventive measures, different Ayurvedic procedures are reviewed from ancient literatures and some modern researches. Dinacharya (Daily regimen) explained in Ayurveda helps to prevent many derangements. Lifestyle modification in terms of proper daily regimen and dietary regimen could help to prevent eye problems. Padabhyanga (foot massage) is one of the procedures mentioned in Dinacharya, an effective therapy for healing of eye disorders.

  • Go has a history of more than 2,500 years, and the life-and-death problems in Go is a fundamental problem domain that must be solved when implementing a computer Go. We attempted to determine the numbers of prototypical eye shapes with 3, 4, 5, and 6 eyes that are directly related to the life-and-death problems, and to classify the prototypical eye shapes represented in 4-tuple forms. Experiment was conducted by Monte-Carlo method and point pattern matching. According to the experimental results, the numbers of prototypical eye shapes were 2 for 3-eye, 5 for 4-eye, 12 for 5-eye, and 35 for 6-eye shapes. Further, using a 4-tuple form, we classified prototypical eye shapes into 1 for 3-eye, 3 for 4-eye, 4 for 5-eye, and 8 for 6-eye shapes.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning and structure of nurses' computer using experience. To do this, we conducted a total of three interviews with 11 nurses working between the ages of 26 and 48. Interview data were interpreted using Giori method (1985) and Lincoln & Guba method (1985). As a result, 112 semantic units were derived, and then 18 sub-components were divided into 5 final components. As a result of the analysis, the computer experience that the nurses used in the hospital consisted of 'used for almost every task', 'usefulness', 'important', 'convenience', 'burden', 'anxiety', desire', simple work level', 'no problems', 'eye, muscle and movement discomfort', 'depends on task', 'more complex', 'accuracy', 'organize contents', 'simple', 'incomparable', and 'easy'. Based on the above conclusions, the nurses' experiences of using the computer in the hospital could be concluded as follows. Currently, almost all nursing jobs in hospitals are using computers. However, most of the tasks related to simple computer tasks related to the ability to use the computer was low, and because of this, the computer did not work properly, or when new programs were introduced to feel the burden and anxiety, want more systematic computer education Found. Especially, according to the career, the difference between computer and hand work was different, Nurses over 20 years said that computers can handle simple tasks that are a bit more complicated than manual tasks, whereas emotional tasks were handicapped, in the 10 to 20 years of experience, computer work was more accurate and appropriate to organize content, Nurses under 10 years were not only easy to work with computers but also have no experience in manual work, they could not compare the computer and the hand work. This study suggests that the use of computers in nurses' work is essential and that more systematic computer-based education should be provided. In addition, due to the nature of the nursing service, the professional opinions of the nurses should be reflected in the development of programs for the emotional nursing work.
