Abstract: The continuing dominance of computers and the rising chorus of complaints from computer users highlight the importance of understanding the risks associated with computer use. Particularly challenging are the issues of eyestrain and muscle pain, the latter particularly puzzling because of the low force levels and static postures of computer work. To study eyestrain and muscle pain during computer work, a multi-disciplinary approach was developed, using techniques from three diverse fields: biomechanics, myofascial pain and vision. A laboratory study was used to examine the effects of the independent variables, postural and visual stress, during a 30-minute typing task. Sixteen healthy females (ages 19-29) participated in the experiment; all were touch-typists. The study design was a 2 x 2 repeated measures, with randomized order of testing. The dependent variables included development of trigger points in the upper trapezius, subjective measures of discomfort, visual function, and surface electromyography (EMG). Trapezius EMG data were collected at locations of known trigger points. An experienced myofascial specialist performed onsite examination to identify the trigger points before and after each experimental session. Cyclical changes in the EMG median frequency that occurred throughout the experiment were quantified. A method for quantifying eyestrain through EMG changes in the obicularis oculi was also developed. There was a significant interaction between postural and visual factors on both the perception of eyestrain and on the trapezius EMG. In particular, the high visual stress condition, when combined with the low postural stress condition, produced fewer cyclic changes in median frequency (i.e. less motor unit rotation), and greater trigger point pain. A hypothesized injury pathway for the development of myofascial trigger points was developed. The role of high visual stress, perhaps mediated through the stress reaction of the autonomic nervous system, was also postulated. particular, the high visual stress condition, when combined with the low postural stress condition, produced fewer cyclic changes in median frequency (i.e. less motor unit rotation), and greater trigger point pain.

The importance of good ergonomics in terms of location of computer components as well as visual parameters is highlighted. The findings of the interactions show the value of a multi-disciplinary approach to a complex problem.

This book provides an overview of the research surrounding the relevance of visual factors for those who struggle with reading. Visual interventions that have been advocated as helping with reading include spectacles that simply correct refractive errors (e.g., long-sightedness), coloured overlays (sheets placed on the page) and coloured lenses, vision therapy, and computer games. This book explains the rationale behind these interventions and discusses the evidence supporting them. Clear advice is given in plain English to those wondering if these interventions will be helpful. Vision, Reading Difficulties, and Visual Stress, 2nd Edition draws together disparate research findings in a range of neurological disorders where vision is compromised by cortical hyperexcitability. Optometrists, orthoptists, ophthalmologists, educational psychologists, teachers, and vision scientists will find this book to be an interesting resource as well as students in these disciplines and parents of children who struggle with reading.

Abstract: Objective: To assess the impacts of postural and visual stressors on musculoskeletal and visual function during computer use. Background: Computer use involves low level static exertions that may be influenced by the postural and visual parameters of the workstation. The mechanisms of musculoskeletal pain and visual discomfort underlying low level static exertions, such as those experienced during computer work, are poorly understood. It was hypothesized that static postural and visual stress experienced during computer work might synergistically contribute to trigger point development, resulting in myofascial pain, as well as symptoms of eyestrain. Methods: Twelve subjects (six male and six female) participated in a study that simulated computer work. Each subject participated in three separate one-hour sessions, performing a typing task under high and low postural and visual stress conditions. Musculoskeletal measures included trigger point development monitored via expert opinion and self-report, electromyographic (EMG) activity, as well as self-reported discomfort. Cyclic changes in the EMG median frequency, representative of motor unit rotation, as well as a central tendency measure were used to assess EMG activity at multiple muscle locations on the trapezius. Hence, a multi-channel array was used to monitor EMG differences between muscle spatial locations relative to the trigger point. Visual measures included EMG activity of the orbicularis oculi, blink rate, accommodation, and self-reported visual discomfort. Results: Myofascial trigger points developed in all subjects regardless of the stress condition. The most interesting finding was the interaction between postural and visual factors on both the musculoskeletal and visual systems. Both high postural and high visual stress conditions resulted in significantly fewer cyclic changes in median frequency (i.e. less motor unit rotation) across the trapezius, and reduced blink rate compared to the baseline low stress condition. Spatial location relative to the trigger point site on the trapezius also influenced EMG patterns. Conclusions: Results have shown the importance of considering both postural and visual factors in order to understand the nature of the health effects associated with computer work. Disorders related to this type of work may be influenced by the complex interaction between the physical and visual parameters of the task. A hypothesized injury pathway model leading to myofascial pain, MSDs, and visual system disturbances during computer work was presented. A central stress theory involving the autonomic nervous system was proposed to be the interactive mechanism affecting both musculoskeletal and visual loading. However, efforts to further understand the mechanisms through which this interaction occurs are needed.

This book provides the first general and unified theory of visual discomfort. The theory is based on the observation that people find certain visual stimuli uncomfortable, and that these same stimule induce seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy. The theory is applied to a variety of everyday problems such as eye strain from reading, lighting, television and VDU terminals, and more generally from design. A variety of techniques for preventing and treating visual discomfort are described.
