There are multiple labor factors that influence the generation of the syndrome of Dry Eye (SOS), but the most common are associated with jobs in offices and their environmental conditions.
Various studies assure that the works related to the use of computers induce to visual fatigue, irritation, blurred vision, tired eyes y redness, symptoms of the syndrome Dry Eye.
If in addition to use of screens, we add factors such as low frequency of taking breaks, poor quality of the screen, presence of reflections and an inappropriate angle of view with respect to the monitor, we face a high risk of suffering from dry eyes.
In addition to the factors derived from the work routines, there are other factors and conditions that can lead to a progressive increase in the evaporation of the aqueous component, of water, of the corneal surface. A high temperature in the workspace generated by the ventilation systems, a low relative humidity or a poor indoor air quality are also potential factors in the appearance of the SOS.
In addition to those jobs that require frequent use of computers, other occupations present a high risk of developing the syndrome such as: airline workers, due to the low humidity conditions during flight inside the cabins; workers in the metallurgical industry for the production of screens, due to the low humidity conditions and constant exposure to low intensity flashing lights and, finally, the group of radiologists, who work with the constant radioactive presence, of air conditioning and the use of of negatoscopes.
