Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe frequency and duration of using electronic devices have increased rapidly due to working from home during the Covid19 pandemic. This causes many complaints of vision such as tired eyes, heat, blur, foreign body sensation in the eyes and various other symptoms. All of these are known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) symptoms, which could happen in and/or outside the eye. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the use of electronic devices with CVS symptoms felt by employees of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Trisakti, Jakarta. METHODSFifty-three employees aged 25-60; were recruited for this cross-sectional study. A complete questionnaire consisting of several questions, including the type and number of electronic devices used, how many hours of use in a day, and complaints felt when using electronic devices, was applied to determine the CVS symptoms. In addition, a visual inspection was conducted to determine the visual acuity. Fisher's exact test was used for analyzing the statistics. RESULTSMore than half of the subjects (52.8%) used 3-4 electronic devices for more than 6 hours daily (56.6%). Multiple CVS symptoms were complaint by 52.83% of subjects, such as tired eyes, blurred vision, and dry eyes observed in 71.7%, 45.3%, and 33.9% of subjects, respectively. Bivariate analysis using Fisher's exact test assessed the relationship between risk factors, such as the use of electronic devices, gender, age, number of electronic devices used, duration of usage in a day, visual acuity, and the incidence of CVS complaints. There was no significant relationship between the various risk factors with CVS complaints, indicated by p>0.05 in all variables. CONCLUSIONUsers of electronic devices often feel various complaints in their eyes when using these devices. Although there was no association between the risk factors studied and complaints of CVS, it is still critical to investigate other factors that may be associated with the incidence of CVS due to its multifactorial pathogenesis.

Abstract

Background Dry eye syndrome (DES) is an eye disease caused by many factors involving the ocular surface, with characteristic damage to tear layer homeostasis accompanied by ocular symptoms due to tear layer instability, hyperosmolarity, damage and inflammation of the ocular surface, and neurosensory abnormalities. Delivery motorbike drivers are often on the streets where the role of environmental factors will be able to pose a risk of experiencing DES. This study aims to assess risk factors associated with the incidence of dry eye syndrome in delivery motorbike drivers.  The benefit of this research is to improve public health, especially in preventive behavior against factors associated with dry eye syndrome. Methods This study used observational analytical methods with a cross-sectional research design.  The selection of samples by consequential non-random sampling amounted to 124 with the criteria of inclusion of delivery motorbike drivers, exclusion of not using artificial tears eye drops, and not use of contact lenses.  Data were collected by filling out a DES risk factor questionnaire and a Tear Break Up Time (TBUT) examination to assess DES. The research data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results This study's results show that subjects with dry eye syndrome are dominated by adults aged 19–44 and male sex. Subjects who experienced DES 76.6%, adult age 78.2%, male 80.6%, no pterygium 66.1%, working period 2-5 years 62.9%, length of work ≥8 hours 94.4%, always using a closed helmet 83.9%, not using protective glasses 39.5%, coffee consumption 71.8%, active smokers 66.1%, using gadgets >6 hours 91.9%.  There is no significant relationship between subjects' characteristics and DES (p>0.05). The incidence of DES in pterygium showed significant results (p= 0.001). Conclusions There is a significant relationship between the incidence of pterygium and DES.
