“…Several studies show that better displays or better vision results in improved efficiency (Black & Boag, 1992;Holleran, 1992;Sheedy, 1992;Sheedy & Bailey, 1994). Many nurses are familiar with older video graphics array (VGA) displays, the most common display format used with disk operating system (DOS)-compatible equipment.…”

“…These displays have a pixel density on the screen of approximately 75 dots per inch (dpi). It has been shown that increasing the pixel density on the screen from 75 to 115 dpi results in 17.4% faster reading for 30-minute reading sessions (Sheedy, 1992). Likewise, reading speed has been shown to improve 4.1% to 19.9% (depending on display type) by adding gray scale improvement of image quality (Sheedy & McCarthy, 1994).…”

This article provides information about visual function and its role in workplace productivity. By understanding the connection among comfort, health, and productivity and knowing the many options for effective ergonomic workplace lighting, the occupational health nurse can be sensitive to potential visual stress that can affect all areas of performance. Computer vision syndrome-the eye and vision problems associated with near work experienced during or related to computer use-is defined and solutions to it are discussed.continuing educAtion by guest on

“…Today, reading often occurs on electronic displays in addition to traditional hard copy media such as books and magazines, presenting issues of legibility and other factors that can affect human performance [1]. In fact, the transition to soft copy media for text images is often met with worker complaints about their vision and comfort while reading [2][3][4][5][6]. Careful comparative evaluations of reading performance across hard and soft copy device types are rare, even though they are clearly important given the rapid and substantial improvements in soft copy devices available in the marketplace over the last 5 years.…”
