Factors Associated with the Risk of Eye Disorders in Computer-Using Employees at the Dumai Branch of BPJS Kesehatan

Abstract

The risk of eye disorders is a health problem frequently experienced by
workers, especially those who work with digital devices for long periods
of time. This condition is known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or
Digital Eye Strain. CVS is characterized by symptoms such as dry eyes,
blurred vision, headaches, and discomfort around the eyes. The purpose
of this study was to determine factors associated with the risk of eye
disorders in computer users. This research was quantitative. This study
was conducted at the Dumai Branch of BPJS Kesehatan in July 2025. The
number of respondents was 54 people. The results of the bivariate
analysis using the chi-square test showed no significant relationship
between age and gender. However, there was a relationship between the
use of glasses, eye rest, and screen time duration with the risk of eye
disorders in computer/laptop users at the Dumai Branch of BPJS
Kesehatan. From the results of this study, it is recommended that the
Dumai Branch of BPJS Kesehatan increase greater attention to factors
related to the risk of eye disorders in computer users by providing
educational guidance to employees.
