Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the learning system in Indonesia a lot. Now students can learn without having to meet face-to-face and only do distance learning with laptops. The use of laptops is increasing over time and many health complaints are related to their use. This complaint is often referred to as Computer vision syndrome (CVS) with complaints that appear in the form of asthenopia symptoms (eyestrain, eye pain), external ocular symptoms (dry eyes, irritated eyes, burning eyes), visual symptoms (blurred vision, double vision, difficulty focusing vision), and extraocular symptoms (shoulder pain, neck pain, back back). CVS is influenced by several factors, such as the distance of the laptop to the eye, the duration of laptop use, the frequency of use of the laptop, the monitor, and environmental factors. This study aims to see the relationship between the duration of laptop use and distance from laptop use to eyes with CVS symptoms in Indonesian Christian University economic students class 2018. The method of this study is to apply an analytical survey design with a crosssectional method. The data are primary data that were taken from online questionnaires and obtained by 125 respondents. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the duration of laptop use and asthenopia symptoms, external ocular symptoms, visual symptoms, and extraocular symptoms (p=0.862, p=0.984, p=0.902, p=0.539). Meanwhile, there was a significant relationship between the distance from laptop use to the eyes and visual symptoms in the form of blurred vision and double vision (p=0.005, p=0.04). Still, there was no significant relationship between laptop use to the eyes and symptoms of asthenopia, external ocular symptoms, and extraocular symptoms (p=0.005, p=0.04). p=0.871, p=0.498, p=0.631).
