Effects Of Reading And Working On The Computer On Vision

Effects Of Reading And Working On The Computer On Vision 

Abstract

The objective The ideal is to determine if a person blinks less, and thus vision worsens after reading and working on the computer.

styles/ Accoutrements

Informed concurrence was attained from 15 subjects, men and women ranging in age from 10 to 103.

birth data was attained which included average number of times each subject blinked and their birth near vision.

A control test was done to see if a person’s vision dropped while gaping without blinking for thirty seconds.

The experimental procedure included counting the number of times a person blinked while reading and working on the computer for two time frames, two twinkles and ten twinkles, and testing vision incontinently after with a Rosenbaum Pocket Vision Screener.

Results

Ten of the fifteen subjects had lowered vision in at least one eye after working for just two twinkles on the computer and thirteen of the fifteen had lowered vision after ten twinkles of working on the computer.

After reading twelve of the fifteen had lowered vision in at least one eye after both two and ten nanosecond intervals.

All subjects blinked smaller times per nanosecond while working on the computer for two and ten nanosecond intervals and reading for ten twinkles. All but one blinked less while reading for two twinkles.

Conclusions/ Discussion

The results of the trial showed conclusively that vision dropped after reading and working on the computer, especially in those subjects that didn’t blink veritably frequently. In the longer time frame there was an indeed lesser drop in vision.

Only those youngish subjects who had20/20 birth vision didn’t have a drop in their vision after reading or working on the computer.

This design was designed to prove that computer work and reading may lead to occasional blinking and dropped vision.
