Abstract

Background: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is an eye disorder caused by prolonged computer use, influenced by factors such as viewing distance, monitor position, screen type, age, gender, glasses use, work duration, and rest time.
Research Objective: This study examines the effect of risk factors for computer use on CVS complaints among planner operators at PT. Pelindo Terminal Petikemas Makassar New Port (MNP) in 2024.
Methods: A case-control study with 84 samples (42 cases, 42 controls) in a 1:1 ratio was conducted. The case group included individuals experiencing CVS symptoms between October 2023 and October 2024. Data collection involved questionnaires and interviews, with statistical analysis performed using SPSS 25.
Results: Significant factors influencing CVS symptoms included working hours (OR = 2.941; p = 0.016), eye rest duration (OR = 3.954; p = 0.002), monitor position (OR = 5.538; p = 0.000), lighting intensity (OR = 4.429; p = 0.001), viewing distance (OR = 2.635; p = 0.030), period of computer use (OR = 3.625; p = 0.006), and antiglare screen use (OR = 2.571; p = 0.037). No significant effect was found for glasses or mobile screen exposure. Multivariate analysis confirmed behavior (p = 0.001), monitor position (p = 0.000), eye rest duration (p = 0.002), and lighting intensity (p = 0.000) as key factors.
Conclusion: Working position, scheduled eye breaks, and proper lighting significantly influence CVS among planner operators, while mobile device screen exposure has no significant correlation.
