Analysis of Risk Factors in Computer Vision Syndrome: A Case Control Study

Ilhamiyati and Amira Wahyunisa*

Abstract

The use of computer for a long time period can cause a ocular complaints called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This syndrome can be influenced by various risk factors, such as individual factors, computer factors and environmental factor. This study is to identify and analyze individual, computer and environmental factors associated with the incidence of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This research is an observational study with a case control method. The study was conducted in September-October 2018 at General hospital Haji Surabaya. A sample of 266 people with certain criteria, divided into 2 groups of cases and controls. The research was conducted by direct interview using a questionnaire. The statistical test uses the Chi square test. The odds ratio used to determine the value of the association of the magnitude of the risk and multivariate analysis (logistic regression analysis) is used to find out which risk factor is the most influential. The 95% confidence interval and the results of the case-control study observations are arranged in a 2×2 table. The factors that were significantly associated with the incidence of CVS were gender [p = 0.009; odd ratio = 0.504 (95% CI = 0.301 – 0.843)], use of glasses [p = 0.000; odds ratio = 0.333 (95% CI = 0.201 – 0.553)], duration of working hours on the computer [p = 0.000; odds ratio = 0.331 (95% CI = 0.194 – 0.563)] and computer vision distance [p = 0.000; odds ratio = 0.331 (95% CI = 0.194 – 0.563)].
