The prevalent of the computer vision syndrome of 77.6% which the highest symptom are Eye fatigue (52.3%), Headaches (44.3%), and Eyes Strain (43.1%). From the study, it shows that the working place have the significant with computer vision syndrome, as the different administrative can influence the chance of getting computer vision syndrome. The study also shows a the longer working hour can increase the chance of computer vision syndrome. It is also highlighted that the use of computer glasses, frequently doing eye examination, use of Eye Lubrication can reduce computer vision syndrome, while seating to close with computing device can increase the possibility of getting computer vision syndrome.
