A one year study of ocular symptoms, visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure and accommodative function was performed on 35 long term VDU Operators and 34 controls. Visual fatigue is the major complaint of VDT syndrome (82.35%), following by dry eye, itching and blurred vision. The complaints of the VDT syndrome are 2 or 3 times more frequent than controls. The visual acuity, refraction state before or after cycloplegics and intraocular pressure revealed no statistical difference during the study and between the two groups. The accommodative response after one week of VDT work was 1.151D, it was significantly lower than the controls 2.439D (P<0.05). The decline of accommodative response after the VDT work was 0.402D, which is also significantly greater than the controls. The tonic accommodation and accommodative adaptation revealed no significant difference between the two groups.
