Abstract
In this work 25,064 employees were studied with the aim of investigati ng whether the video display terminal (VDT) equipped dth filters reduc es the incidence of asthenopia with reference to weekly time spent al a VDT and duration of work at a VDT. Analysis showed that the filters themselves do not reduce the occurrence of asthenopia consequent to va rious factors (refractive defects, time spent at a VDT, and monitors' characteristics).
