VISION AT WORK

Computer use

Visual Display Unit (VDU) & Display Screen Equipment (DSE) users have different visual needs than other people.
Their vision is under continuous strain from using computers and other similar equipment for extended periods of time. The focusing distance is much closer than everyday use.
