摘要
各种视频显示终端(vdt)的广泛使用一直对眼睛健康造成不利影响。长时间使用智能手机是导致干眼症和弱视的主要原因之一。因此,本研究的目的是寻找一种简单有效的策略来对抗与屏幕相关的DE和视疲劳。方法将18岁及以上的健康受试者随机分为三组,分别进行2小时的智能手机阅读任务。使用1 h后,各组采用不同的休息方式:不休息(A组)、闭眼休息10 min (B组)、闭眼关节人工泪液休息10 min (C组)。在2 h阅读任务前后对所有参与者进行眼科检查和问卷调查。结果90名符合条件的志愿者,包括29名男性和61名女性,被随机分为三组。所有评价指标均显示A组DE和视疲劳的严重程度明显增加。另一方面,C组角膜荧光素染色(CFS)结果有所改善,但DE和视弱症状没有明显变化(P >;0.05),与预读值相比。B组患者眼表疾病指数(OSDI)显著升高(P≤0.05),临界闪烁频率(CFF)显著降低(P≤0.05)。结论人工泪液闭眼休息可能是一种方便有效的预防屏幕相关性DE和视弱视的方法。
Closing eyes with artificial tears: A simple and effective strategy to combat screen-related asthenopia and dry eye symptoms
Background
The widespread use of various video display terminals (VDTs) always had a detrimental impact on ocular health. Prolonged use of smartphones has been one of the leading causes of dry eye (DE) and asthenopia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find a simple and effective strategy to combat screen-related DE and asthenopia.
Methods
A group of healthy participants aged 18 and above were randomly assigned to three groups and tasked with a 2 h smartphone reading task. After 1 h of usage, each group adopted different methods of rest: no rest (Group A), a 10 min eye-closed rest (Group B), or a 10 min eye-closed joint artificial tears rest (Group C). Ophthalmological examinations and questionnaires were administered to all participants before and after the 2 h reading task.
Results
90 qualified volunteers, including 29 males and 61 females, were randomly assigned to three groups. Group A demonstrated a significant increase in the severity of DE and asthenopia as evidenced by all the evaluated indices. On the other hand, Group C did not exhibit any notable change in DE and asthenopia symptoms, with an improvement in corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) results (P > 0.05) when compared to the pre-reading values. Group B showed a significant increase in ocular surface disease index (OSDI) (P ≤ 0.05) and a decrease in critical flicker frequency (CFF) (P ≤ 0.05).
Conclusions
Close-eye rest with artificial tears may be a convenient and effective prevention strategy for screen-related DE and asthenopia.
