FATIGA VISUAL ASOCIADA A LOS NIVELES DE ILUMINACIÓN EN LOS PUESTOS DE TRABAJO DEL PERSONAL ADMINISTRATIVO DE LA UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE MANABÍ

Abstract

Visual fatigue, also known as asthenopia is a discomfort that occurs in the eyes as a result of having made a lot of voluntary effort of the visual apparatus to accommodate and adjust the view. This effect of fatigue occurs in people who perform some work at close range and for a long time, where they subject the eyes to a situation of permanent stress. The effort that means to obtain an adequate vision causes that the person has the sensation that it diminishes his visual capacity, although it is of transitory way. This problem affects those who spend more than eight hours in front of a computer screen, to those who read and write long time in a row, to workers who are exposed to a very bright light or who remain in places with low light. In general, the mere presence of astenopia does not in itself have greater seriousness, however, when presenting these discomforts, it is always advisable to go to a specialist and take the corresponding treatment and prevention measures.
