Abstract
Perceived exertion caused by the extraocular muscles was assessed as a function of the direction of gaze and recorded in 114 subjects using a psychometric method. The results confirm statements in the literatur e that maximum comfort is achieved when gaze is aimed downwards. We fo und no correlations between perceived exertion and age or viewing dist ance. The relationship is relevant to ergonomics, for example in lens fitting and workplace layout.
