ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the efficacy and explore the effect mechanism on visual display terminal syndrome treated withtherapy ofmedicine.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty-five patients of visual fatigue induced by the visual display terminal operation were treated withtrigeminy therapy ofmedicine, e.g. massage manipulation, acupuncture and cupping; acting on the specific stimulating areas inmedicine, relevant with orbit, temple, forehead, ear and Baihui (GV 20). Each treatment lasted 40 min, once every two or three days. Totally, 10 to 14 treatments were required. The scores of visual symptoms and the ocular hemodynamics before and after treatment were observed, and clinical effect were evaluated in the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After treatment, the scores of visual symptoms were reduced apparently as compared with those before treatment (all<0.05). The total effective rate was 84.6% (55/65). The peak systolic velocity (PSV), the end diastolic velocity (EDV) in anterior ciliary artery (ACA) and the central retinal artery (CRA) were improved obviously, indicating the significant differences before and after treatment (all<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Thetherapy ofmedicine alleviates the visual symptoms in patients of visual fatigue and improves visual quality. The effects are related to the improvement of ocular microcirculation.</p>
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the influence of long-time video operation on hemodynamics of the retrobulbar arteries in operators.@*Methods@#From March to October, 2015, a total of 120 soldiers for office work engaged in video surveillance were enrolled as study group, and 155 fire fighters were enrolled as control group. The incidence of eye discomfort was compared between the two groups. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure and compare the peak systolic velocity (PSV) , end-diastolic velocity (EDV) , and resistance index (RI) of the central retinal artery (CRA) and the short posterior ciliary artery (SPCA) , and the correlation of video operation time with the hemodynamic parameters of the retrobulbar arteries was analyzed.@*Results@#The study group had a significantly higher incidence rate of eye discomfort than the control group (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the study group had significant reductions in the PSV and EDV of the CRA and the SPCA and a significant increase in the RI of the CRA (P<0.05) . Video operation time was negatively correlated with the PSV and EDV of the CRA and the SPCA (r=-0.61, -0.54, -0.65, and-0.68, all P<0.05) and positively correlated with the RI of the CRA and the SPCA (r=0.56 and 0.63, P<0.05) .@*Conclusion@#Long-time video operation can increase the incidence of eye discomfort and lead to increased blood resistance of the CRA and the SPCA and reduced retinal perfusion.
