Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) refers to a set of eye-related symptoms that arise from prolonged computer usage. A survey was conducted to investigate the demographic characteristics, factors contributing to, and preventive measures against CVS. Out of 159 participants, 31.0% experienced seven or more symptoms, indicating a notable prevalence. The study found no significant correlation between age or academic years and CVS occurrence (P values of 0.481 and 0.392, respectively). However, gender exhibited a statistically significant relationship, with females students showing a higher prevalence than males (P-value=0.018; τ=0.105*). Notably, the distance from the screen had a highly significant inverse correlation with CVS occurrence (P-value=0.000; τ=−0.207**), indicating that greater distance reduced the risk. Additionally, using a screen filter (P-value=0.000; τ=0.184**) and adjusting screen brightness (P-value=0.017; τ=0.101*) were associated with CVS occurrence. Among preventive measures, only the use of an anti-glare screen showed a significant association with reducing CVS risk (P-value=0.018; τ=−0.099*). Given these findings, raising awareness about CVS among medical students is recommended, especially as curricula in medical colleges evolve.

“…CVS, also referred to as digital eye strain includes a set of ocular symptoms (such as dryness, itching and burning), visual symptoms (such as blurred or double vision and eye strain), and even headache, which are produced by prolonged use of computers, tablets, e-readers, and cell phones, among others ( Coles-Brennan, Sulley & Young, 2019 ). The most recent reviews published to date indicate that risk factors related to CVS are: prolonged exposure time to VDUs (although there are discrepancies as to the cut-off point at which to consider exposure as a possible risk factor for CVS), female sex, presence of refractive, accommodative or vergence anomalies, altered blinking patterns, work environment (excessive exposure to intense light, low humidity, use of air conditioning, smaller font size), incorrect working posture, closer working distance, or use of contact lenses ( Coles-Brennan, Sulley & Young, 2019 ; Chawla et al, 2019 ; Auffret et al, 2021 ; Talens-Estarelles et al, 2021 ; Kaur et al, 2022 ; Adane, Alamneh & Desta, 2022 ; Singh et al, 2022 ). In addition, in another review from 2022, a previous history of eye disease and the use of spectacles are also indicated as risk factors ( Adane, Alamneh & Desta, 2022 ).…”

“…However, not all reviews report the same risk factors for CVS. For example, there is much controversy as to whether age is a risk factor for CVS ( Auffret et al, 2021 ; Talens-Estarelles et al, 2021 ; Rosenfield, 2011 ). It should be noted that most of the studies referenced in the reviews use instruments that are not validated for the diagnosis of CVS.…”

Background Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a common occupational health problem, but its clinical definition, prevalence and risk factors are not well defined. In general, non-validated diagnostic instruments have been used to assess its prevalence. For this reason, the aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence and potential risk factors for CVS using a validated questionnaire. Methods A cross-sectional study (n = 238) was carried out in Italian office workers using digital devices. All participants responded to an anamnesis, a digital exposure questionnaire, and the validated Italian version of the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire. A battery of 3 ocular surface and tear ophthalmic tests (break-up time, BUT), Schirmer II and corneal staining) was performed. Results The mean age (±SD) was 45.55 (11.02) years, 64.3% were female. 71.4% wore glasses to work, whose design was monofocal (for distance) in 47.6%, monofocal (for near) in 26.5%, general progressive in 16.5% and occupational progressive in 8.8% of cases. 35.7% used digital devices >6 hours/day in the workplace. The prevalence of CVS was 67.2%. In the multivariate model, female sex (aOR: 3.17; 95% CI [1.75–5.73]), the use of digital devices >6 hours/day at workplace (aOR: 2.07; 95% CI [1.09–3.95]) and the use of optical correction at work (aOR: 2.69; 95% CI [1.43–5.08]) significantly increased the odds of CVS. Association was observed between presenting CVS and having abnormal BUT (χ2 = 0.017). Conclusions The prevalence of CVS in Italian office workers, especially among females, was high. Intensive use of digital devices at work (>6 hours/day) and the use of optical correction at work significantly increased the odds of CVS. There is an association between poor tear stability and CVS. Further research is needed on the influence of wearing optical correction on CVS. The use of a validated questionnaire in health surveillance of digital workers is strongly recommended.
