Effects of video work on the ocular vascular hemodynamic and visual of the operators / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effects of long time video display terminal (VDT) operation on the ocular vascular hemodynamic and visual acuity.@*Methods@#During March and October 2015, 120 cases of video monitoring warriors were selected as study group, another 155 cases of logistics personnel as the control group. The low vision of the two groups was calculated and compared, and the color Doppler flow imaging was used to measure the central retinal artery (CRA) , short posterior ciliary artery (SPCA) , anterior ciliary artery (ACA) , (peak systolic velocity, PSV) , end diastolic velocity (EDV) and (resistance index (RI) . The differences of hemodynamic parameters between these two groups were evaluated, and the relationship between the visual acuity and each hemodynamic parameter was analyzed.@*Results@#The visual acuity of the study group was[0.8 (0.4-1.2) ], much lower than the control group, and the rate of low version in the study group was 40.00%, much higher than that of the control group. Compared with the control group, both of ACA and CRA of SPCA, PSV and EDV in the study group were decreased, while RI of CRA, ACA were increased (P<0.05) ; Compared with the control group, no statistical significance was found in the RI of SPCA in the study group (P>0.05) . The PSV and EDV were negatively correlated with visual acuity (r value of PSV and visual acuity were -0.352, -0.265 and -0.304; r value of EDV and visual acuity were -0.324, -0.348 and -0.365, while RI was positively correlated with visual acuity (r value were 0.363, 0.326 and 0.344) .@*Conclusion@#Our data suggest that long time video operation may be associated with changes of ocular vascular hemodynamic parameters and raise the incidence of low vision.
