Is there a typical VDT patient?
Between 75 percent (results of this study) and 88 percent (reported by NIOSH) of patients who use a VDT regularly are likely to be symptomatic. This study has helped to identify the "typical" VDT user and the symptoms this user is most likely to report. The next step is to develop a diagnostic and treatment protocol by which optometrists can prescribe for and potentially prevent these computer-related vision problems.
We showed that micrometastasis and some ITCs in SNs had proliferative activity. We suggest that micrometastasis and ITCs should be removed, especially during SN navigation surgery, until their clinical significance is clarified.
