摘要
目的:评估来自初级验光配镜的老年人群(60 岁及以上)的屏幕时间习惯、相关症状和临床特征:邀请在爱尔兰都柏林一家初级验光配镜诊所接受眼科检查的 60 岁及以上、每天使用数码设备至少 1 小时的连续患者参与研究。该研究收集了有关参与者使用数码设备、设备类型和使用时间的信息。研究还记录了阅读和使用设备时的最佳矫正远视力和近视力:共有 401 份回复被纳入分析。根据计算机视觉综合症问卷(CVS-Q)得分≥6,该人群中DES的发生率高达51.6%,女性的中位数高于男性。使用设备的平均时长为 4 小时。71%的参与者表示在使用数码设备时出现了数码眼疲劳(DES)症状。智能手机是参与者使用最多的设备类型,但平板电脑是使用时间最长的设备类型。在使用数码设备时,单光眼镜是最常用的视力矫正方法。视力较好的参与者比视力较差的参与者使用数码设备的时间更长:这项研究为我们深入了解老年人的屏幕使用习惯和出现 DES 症状的可能性提供了宝贵的资料,也是迄今为止同类研究中的第一项。研究结果表明,DES 在老年成人设备使用者中的流行率很高,达到 51.6%,干眼症和 DES 症状之间有明显的联系。其结果将使验光师能够为这一年龄组的人提供如何最好地减少 DES 症状的具体建议。
Digital eye strain and clinical correlates in older adults.
Purpose: To evaluate the screen time habits, associated symptoms and clinical characteristics of an older population (60 years and older) drawn from primary care optometry.
Methods: Consecutive patients aged 60 years and older, who used a digital device for at least 1 hour per day, attending for an eye examination at a primary care optometric practice in Dublin, Ireland, were invited to participate. The study gathered information regarding the participant's use of digital devices, the types of devices used and duration of use. Best corrected distance acuity and near vision adequacy for reading and device use was recorded.
Results: 401 responses were included in the analysis. Based on a Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q) score ≥6, the occurrence of DES in this population was high at 51.6 % with females having a higher median score than males. The mean number of hours devices were used for was 4 hours. 71 % of participants reported symptoms of digital eye strain (DES) when using digital devices. Smart phones were the device type used most by participants but tablets were the device type used for the longest duration. Single vision spectacles were the most commonly used method of visual correction when using digital devices. Participants with better levels of acuity used devices for longer periods than those with poorer acuity.
Conclusion: This study provides a valuable insight into the screen habits and likelihood of symptoms of DES in an older population and, is to date, the first of its kind. It shows that the prevalence of DES in older age adult device users is high, at 51.6 %, with a clear link between dry eye and symptoms of DES. Its results will enable optometrists to provide specific advice to this age group on how best to reduce symptoms of DES.
