Most of the articles contained in this volume are concerned with the prevalence of symptoms among VDU operators and the hazards involved with the use of this technology. Many authors suggest useful means of prevention. While recent emphasis has been on problems related to the physical VDU environment, attention is now being focused on the effects of work organization. In the same vein, the field of human-computer interaction has undergone rapid growth. The studies presented will help in the design of software and learning tools and will contribute to the reduction of the mental workload of operators. At the same time, it is important to assess the social consequences of the implementation of VDUs. A number of chapters analyze media communication of research results, and the resulting public debates, and researchers from developing countries describe the difficulties and opportunities associated with technology transfer.

This conference was instigated by a combination of factors: The nature of the problem, the wide spread occupational epidemiology reported on eye symptoms and eye fatigue in the workplace, and the organizers' awareness of the complexity of the scientific and clinical bases of knowledge that might be usefully applied. The introduction of new methods into system neurobiology provides new insights into how we receive and process information from the external world, and act upon it. New, non-invasive methods have opened the way to direct observation of the human brain in action. Due particularly to the interaction between the visual and oculomotor requirements involved, several clinical and scientific fields intersect when these issues are considered. To provide clear vision the accommodative and pupillary mechanisms are used. To maintain binocularity, the ver gence oculomotor system, sensitive to fatigue, must attain congruence with accommodative levels. This accommodation-vergence linkage was a focus of our symposium.
