RISK OF EYE DISORDERS IN COMPUTER-USING EMPLOYEES AT DUMAI BRANCH OF BPJS KESEHATAN: ERGONOMIC ANALYSIS

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.
