Attitudes and awareness of professionally active people on eye diseases prevention-a descriptive cross-sectional survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The use of screen devices is a common aspect of everyday life. Additionally, for the majority of adult workers, their job is closely associated with using monitors. Prolonged or improper use of screens, especially at a close distance from the eyes, can result in eye fatigue and the development of basic refractive errors. Professional workers are particularly susceptible to the onset of certain vision disorders, notably those related to prolonged near work and screen exposure (such as myopia), and awareness of potential risks contributes to the mitigation of negative consequences associated with visual impairments.

Objective

To assess the level of awareness and attitudes regarding preventive measures for eye diseases among working individuals.
