INTRODUCTION: This study analysed the impact of general purpose progressive addition lenses (GP-PALs) and computer progressive addition lenses (PC-PALs) on the activity of the trapezius muscle during computer operation.
METHODS: In this randomised, single-blinded, crossover study, surface electromyography (SEMG) signals were recorded bilaterally from the trapezius muscle during a 30-min computer task performed wearing different presbyopic corrections. The amplitude probability distribution function and its percentiles, gap frequency, muscular rest time and sustained low-level muscle activity periods were analysed in 32 subjects with artificially induced presbyopia. Subjectively perceived differences in vision and postural load between lenses were evaluated using a seven-item questionnaire (non-standardised, visual analogue scale ranged from 1 [bad] to 100 [good]).
RESULTS: Considering the SEMG data, no significant difference in the muscular activity of the trapezius muscle was observed when using GP-PALs or PC-PALs for computer operation. However, PC-PALs showed statistically and clinically significantly higher results for subjectively perceived visual quality (78.4-31.3; p < 0.001), spontaneous tolerance (79.2-31.3; p < 0.001) and field of view (75.9-23.5; p < 0.001) compared with GP-PALs.
CONCLUSIONS: Even though the electromyographic approach did not show a significant differentiation between the lenses, the subjective evaluation was clearly in favour of PC-PALs. Eye care practitioners should always take an occupational history of presbyopes, ask about the workplace situation and consider the use of PC-PALs.
