Özet:

 


In this study, a
cross-sectional survey design was used to investigate the prevalence of
asthenopic symptoms among 354 computer users with respect to the level of EMF
radiation from computer monitor screens. The results of the study revealed a
significant association between the risks and the radiation level as well as a significant increase in angle of gaze between
those affected and unaffected users. It was found that frequent/severe headache (59.1%) was the most complained symptom
followed by chronic eye irritation (41.5%). The findings in this work, if
properly taken into consideration, will help to create social awareness and
also help relevant authorities as well as individuals in the policy
formulations regarding their ergonomics.
