Modern Methodological Approaches to the Correction of Astenopia in Patients with Visual-Intensive Work

The authors consider presented in the literature tested new approaches to diagnosis, prevention and correction of symptoms of asthenopia in persons visually-intense work related to theoretical aspects of asthenopia in fact, the selection of spectacle correction and application of a multidisciplinary approach. Determines the pattern of allocation in the traditional classification of asthenopia (accommodative, muscular, sensory) classification criterion is the presence or absence of phenomena of psychological maladjustment. Along with this, it is established that the astigmatic component correction of complex myopic astigmatism, it is advisable to perform in the range of 60–75 % of the required (according to cycloplegics examination of refraction). At the same time, the level of visual performance (in the most difficult conditions of presentation of test information of the type “choice of signal from several — evaluation of the signal — response ratio”) with incomplete (60–75 %) correction by 12.7–20.4 % (p < 0.05) is higher than with partial (75–85 %) and complete, taking into account minor differences in the achieved visual acuity (0.04–0.08, p > 0.05). In addition, the practical expediency of applying a multidisciplinary approach to the correction of asthenopia, based on the complex effects of specific and non-specific methods of stimulation of vision. It was found that the combined use of multidirectional technologies of physical impact (low-energy laser radiation, cranial osteopathic effects and special training of the cervical-thoracic spine) provides effective correction of accommodation disorders, which is confirmed by a pronounced, statistically significant positive dynamics of clinical and functional, ophthalmic-ergonomic and subjective indicators of the visual system after a course of therapeutic and restorative measures.
