The symptoms are such as eye fatigue, headache, dizzines, dry eye, blurred vision, double vision, neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain, collectively referred to as computer vision syndrome. This study aims to assess the prevalence of computer vision syndrome among VDT operators and to investigate the correlation between computer vision syndrome with work capacity and task demand. A cross-sectional study was conducted and the respondents were recruited by using a simple random sampling method. Population of this study were 78 people and sample taken were 40 respodents. Technique of data collection was based on questionnaire and eyes health examination of symptoms. To know the level of influence of each risk factor on the occurence of Computer Vision Syndrome at VDT operator then conducted with frequency distribution, and crosstab, then analyzed with the test of logistic regression. Among the 40 VDT operators, 24 (60%) suffered CVS after working on computer. The results oflogistic regression analysis showed that there is significant relation of work posture (p=0, 030), break time among VDT users (p=0, 007), and viewing distance (p=0, 005). The odds of which is 5 times higher who work without ergonomics posture, 7 times higher on the operators break time amongVDT use less than 4 minutes and 8 times higher among operators who look at the VDT less than 50 em. The results of this study can be useful in preventing and reduce risk factor of computer vision syndrome in a workplace.
