Investigation of visual display terminal syndrome in civil aviation pilots
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 10
Abstract
[Objective:] To investigate the status of visual display terminal syndrome (VDTS) in civil aviation pilots and analyze the causes, so as to provide evidence for eye health care of pilots. [Methods:] A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 631 pilots to understand the exposure time and to compare the incidence rate of discomfort in participants with different exposure intensities. [Results:] The average exposure time of pilots' video terminals was (4.43±2.24) h. The incidence rate of VDTS and the detection rate of discomfort increased with the increase of exposure time. [Conclusion:] Prolonged exposure to video terminal is not conducive to eye health. The eye health education for pilots should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the health hazards caused by video terminal exposure.
