Abstract
Increased and prolonged computer use can indeed lead to various health problems, including Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). CVS is a syndrome that arises from constant exposure to computer screens or other electronic devices. Common symptoms of CVS include eye strain, blurred vision, headaches, eye dryness, and neck and shoulder strain. This study aims to determine the effect of computer use, viewing distance to the monitor and lighting intensity on employee performance through Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). The quantitative with a cross-sectional study design was conducted in this research. The research was conducted on 108 workers using simple random sampling techniques. Variables were measured using the questionnaire, measuring tape and lux meter. Data were analyzed through univariate using SPSS, bivariate and multivariate approaches using AMOS program using path analysis. The study found that there was an effect of computer use duration on computer vision syndrome (p= 0.002), the effect of visibility on computer vision syndrome (p= 0.002), the effect of computer vision syndrome on employee performance (p= 0.033). whereas, there was no effect of lighting intensity on computer vision syndrome (p= 0.965), duration of computer uses on employee performance (p= 0.672), visibility on employee performance (p= 0.458) and lighting intensity on employee performance (p= 0.379). These findings of this study support employees by educating them about the elements that can cause a decrease in performance resulting in computer vision syndrome.
Keywords: Computer vision syndrome (CVS), Duration of computer use, Visibility to the monitor, Lighting intensity.
