Abstract A selected group of VDU workers were tested in an attempt to achieve objective evidence of visual fatigue and to identify a preferential monitor/gaze position during a particular work setting. Each subject was scored in a two-phase test. The highest mean scores were achieved when the monitor was lowered with respect to the primary/gaze position; the scores obtained with the monitor in primary or upward gaze position were significantly lower (p〈0.001). The downward gaze position should be considered more comfortable for both innervational and anatomical factors, as stated in previous studies of ocular mobility. A reduction of vertical saccades could also play a role in lessening visual fatigue in this gaze position.
