“…This finding is consistent with the results of other studies. 19,20,57,58 A possible suggestion for this finding could be the cumulative exposure nature of CVS symptoms rather than being an acute condition that could prime to severe eye problems. As a result, long years of using a device equals more accumulated stress on the eyes, which might intensify the risk of developing CVS.…”

Introduction: Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is the leading occupational hazard of the 21st century, which causes the critical public health issues in the present era. In developing countries, including Ethiopia, data on the proportion and the causes of CVS are scarce among academic staff for policy conclusions. Accordingly, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence and factors associated with CVS among academic staff at the University of Gondar. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from March to April, 2021. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 525 study participants. Data were collected using a pre-tested self-administered structured questionnaire. The collected data were then entered into EpiData version 4.6 and analyzed using STATA version 14 software. The association between dependent and independent variables was computed with a binary logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of CVS was found to be 78.8% out of a total of 500 participants [95% CI (74.95, 82.30)], of which the majority (71.60%) of them were males. Using a computer for more than 9 years [AOR = 1.65, 95% CI (1.01, 2.71)], using visual display terminals [AOR = 2.63, 95% CI (1.60, 4.32)], and working in improper illumination levels (300 and >500 lux) [AOR = 2.47, 95% CI (1.47, 4.33)] increased the risk of CVS, whereas, Using eye droplets [AOR = 0.30, 95% CI (0.15, 0.58)] and taking rest breaks [AOR = 0.55, 95% CI (0.34-0.92)] were protective factors. Conclusion: This study disclosed that CVS was common among academicians. In the current study, the manifestation of CVS was affected by years of computer use, visual display terminals use, workplace illumination level, rest breaks, and eye droplets. Taking rest breaks in between the work, reducing exposure to display screens, use of eye drops, and optimizing workplace illumination levels are recommended to reduce the problem.

“…In his report, he also mentioned that Darmaliputra and Dharmadi reported that 79.6% of computer users who work at a distance of less than 50 cm experience computer syndrome. 2,14 Priyambada (2019) also stated that the highest risk factor for premature presbyopia is close viewing of 30.5%.…”

“…75% of the respondents who complained of computer syndrome came from the group with more than 10 years of service, while 25% came from less than 10 years of service ( p-value 0.002). 2 However, Table 8 shows the percentage of bivariate test results on the VDT service period variable with a p-value of 0.723 with OR of 1.200 and 95% CI 0.437-3.293. The p -value > 0.05 in this study indicates that VDT working age is not significantly related to the occurrence of premature presbyopia.…”

“…1 The American Optometric Association (AOA) states that VDT is not only a computer but includes all devices that use monitor screens such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers and other work monitors. 2 In general, the consequences of using VDT cause complaints among workers known as:Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain (DES). People who work long hours in front of a screen at close range have the potential to experience visual complaints in addition to extraocular complaints.…”

Introduction: The increased use of Visual Display Terminals (VDTs) allows close work with continuous screen gazing during working hours. Close work forces the eyes to accommodate resulting in contraction of the ciliary system. This sustained contraction will lead to ciliary system weakness, making close work a risk factor for premature presbyopia. Methods: The research design was cross sectional. It was conducted on employees of health centers in Bekasi district who were under 40 years old with more than 1 year of service as employees and had used VDT for at least 1 year. Employees filled out an interview form voluntarily then the answers would be verified according to presbyopia and finally measured the amplitude of accommodation for respondents who met the presbyopia criteria. The research was carried out throughout December 2023. The collected data were statistically processed using the SPSS 26 application tool.Results: Of the 100 respondents who filled out the interview form and then verified and measured, 22 people (22%) had premature presbyopia. Age (p-value 0.014), type of VDT (p-value 0.049) and habit of working with VDT for 1 hour non-stop (p-value 0.016) were associated with premature presbyopia because they had a p-value <0.05. Based on multivariate test, the factor of working with 1 hour non-stop VDT was the only factor with p-value 0.018 and OR 3.78995% CI 1.255-11.445.Conclusion: There is an association of VDT use with the incidence of premature presbyopia in office workers by 22%. With the most significant influence owned by the factor of working with VDT 1 hour non-stop.

“…Students who conduct online lectures using smartphones tend to spend all their lecture hours looking at digital screens at a distance that is not optimal. The best viewing distance to the Visual Display Terminal (VDT) such as laptops and smartphones is 50-60 cm and the viewing distance is not optimal if <50 and >60 cm (Nadhiva and Mulyono, 2020).…”

The use of gadgets during online lectures brings various impacts in the form of health problems both in mental and physical aspects. Health problems experienced during online lectures appear in various forms of complaints including stress and eye fatigue. The research aims to see the relationship between the type of gadget with stress and eye fatigue and to see the difference in stress levels, and eye fatigue based on the type of gadget used by students of the Public Health Science (PHS), Undana Kupang Study Program. The results showed that there was no relationship between the type of gadget used with stress in PHS Undana Study Program students with p-value > (0.05). There is a significant relationship and influence on the type of gadget used on eye fatigue. The results of the different tests showed that there was no significant difference in stress levels based on the type of gadget used, and there was a significant difference in eye fatigue based on the type of gadget used. This study shows that maintaining optimal visibility of gadgets, especially for smartphone users, and stress management needs to be considered for comfort during online lectures. Keywords: (Types of gadgets, Stress, and eye fatigue) Abstrak. Penggunaan gadget selama perkuliahan daring membawa berbagai dampak berupa gangguan kesehatan baik dalam aspek mental maupun fisik.

Penelitian bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan jenis gadget dengan stress dan kelelahan mata serta melihat perbedaan tingkat stress dan kelelahan mata berdasarkan jenis gadget yang digunakan mahasiswa Prodi IKM Undana Kupang. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara jenis gadget yang digunakan dengan stres pada mahasiswa Prodi IKM Undana dengan p-value > α (0,05). Terdapat hubungan dan pengaruh yang signifikan pada jenis gadget yang digunakan terhadap kelelahan mata. Hasil uji beda menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada tingkat stress berdasarkan jenis gadget yang digunakan dan ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada tingkat kelelahan mata berdasarkan jenis gadget yang digunakan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan menjaga jarak pandang yang optimal terhadap gadget terutama untuk pengguna smartphone serta manajemen stress perlu diperhatikan demi kenyamanan selama menjalani perkuliahan daring.
