Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM Computers and other digital screens have become an integral part of our life. It raises various ocular problems in the user due to excessive screen time, this study aims to determine the frequency of computer vision syndrome (CVS) in population of under graduate physical therapy student. METHODOLOGY This was cross-sectional study conducted at Ziauddin College of Rehabilitation Sciences; Karachi during June 2019 to September 2020.A total number of 340 candidates of age 22 years ± 1.8 including both genders participated in this study. A questionnaire was designed to collect data which was statistically analyzed on SPSS version 20.

RESULTS 88.5% of the students used mobile phones for study purpose out of which 35.3% use it for 4-7 hour and 33% use for 7 to 10 hours a day. The ocular symptoms that students face was burning of eyes (40%), tearing (55%), eye redness (45.3%), diplopia 31.8%, blurred vision (42.9%), eye dryness (23.8%), while extra ocular symptom that was noticed in the study included headache too was (67.9%). CONCLUSION This study showed that most of the students were found to have a CVS thus screen time guide lines and visual rehabilitation must established.
物理治疗专业大学生计算机视觉综合征的患病率
电脑和其他数字屏幕已经成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。由于屏幕时间过长,使用者出现了各种眼部问题,本研究旨在确定计算机视觉综合征(CVS)在物理治疗本科学生人群中的发生频率。方法采用横断面研究方法,在齐亚丁康复科学学院进行;卡拉奇,2019年6月至2020年9月。共有340名年龄为22岁±1.8岁的男性和女性参加了本研究。设计问卷收集数据,使用SPSS 20进行统计分析。而描述性数据则使用图形表示方式计算平均值、中位数、众数和标准差。结果88.5%的学生以学习为目的使用手机,其中35.3%的学生每天使用手机4 ~ 7小时,33%的学生每天使用手机7 ~ 10小时。学生面对的眼部症状为眼睛灼烧(40%)、流泪(55%)、眼睛发红(45.3%)、复视31.8%、视力模糊(42.9%)、眼睛干涩(23.8%),而研究中注意到的眼部额外症状还包括头痛(67.9%)。结论本研究显示大多数学生存在CVS,因此必须建立屏幕时间指导线和视力康复。
