Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome (CVS) and its risk factors in a university population (University of Valladolid, Spain).

Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional online survey was conducted in a university population [staff (lecturers and administrative employees) and students (undergraduate, master's, and PhD)], including two validated questionnaires (Ocular Surface Disease Index [OSDI] and the 17-item Computer-Vision Symptom Scale questionnaire [CVSS17]) and questions about sociodemographic data and visual display terminal use. The prevalence and risk factors for CVS (CVSS17≥29) (multivariate logistic regression model) were calculated.

Results: One thousand nine participants responded to the survey (35.2±15.2 years; 64.1% women). The mean OSDI and CVSS17 questionnaire scores were 18.9±15.6 and 31.5±6.4, respectively, and 35.4% of the respondents had dry eye symptoms (OSDI>22). The total prevalence of CVS was 65.4% (95% CI 62.1-68.3). Undergraduate students showed the highest CVS prevalence (72.6%; P <0.01), which was significant. In addition, women, participants younger than 36 years old, contact lens wearers, and subjects with dry eye symptoms reported a statistically higher CVSS17 score ( P ≤0.01). In the multivariate model, significant factors associated with the presence of CVS ( P ≤0.03) were female sex (OR=2.10; 95% CI 1.54-2.88), dry eye symptoms (OSDI>22) (OR=16.98; 95% CI 10.36-27.84), VTD use ≥6 hr daily (OR=1.96; 95% CI 1.09-3.52), and being an undergraduate student (OR=2.23; 95% CI 1.54-3.24).

Conclusion: A high prevalence (65.4%) of CVS was found among the Spanish university population, with the undergraduate student group having the highest prevalence (72.6%). Female sex, more than 6 hr/day of visual display terminal use, being an undergraduate student, and dry eye symptoms significantly increased the risk of CVS in the university population.

西班牙大学人群中电脑视觉综合症的患病率及其风险因素

目的确定大学人群（西班牙巴利亚多利德大学）中数码眼疲劳或电脑视觉综合症（CVS）的患病率及其风险因素：方法：对大学人群（教职员工（讲师和行政人员）和学生（本科生、硕士生和博士生））进行了匿名横断面在线调查，包括两份经过验证的问卷（眼表疾病指数 [OSDI] 和 17 项计算机视觉症状量表问卷 [CVSS17]）以及有关社会人口学数据和视觉显示终端使用情况的问题。计算了CVS（CVSS17≥29）的患病率和风险因素（多变量逻辑回归模型）：共有 199 名参与者（35.2±15.2 岁；64.1% 为女性）参与了调查。OSDI和CVSS17问卷的平均得分分别为（18.9±15.6）分和（31.5±6.4）分，35.4%的受访者有干眼症状（OSDI>22）。CVS总患病率为65.4%（95% CI 62.1-68.3）。本科生的 CVS 患病率最高（72.6%；P22）（OR=16.98；95% CI 10.36-27.84），每天使用 VTD≥6 小时（OR=1.96；95% CI 1.09-3.52），本科生（OR=2.23；95% CI 1.54-3.24）：结论：西班牙大学生群体中 CVS 患病率较高（65.4%），其中本科生群体患病率最高（72.6%）。性别为女性、每天使用视觉显示终端超过 6 小时、本科生以及干眼症状会显著增加大学生患 CVS 的风险。

期刊介绍： Eye & Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice is the official journal of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO), an international educational association for anterior segment research and clinical practice of interest to ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other vision care providers and researchers. Focusing especially on contact lenses, it also covers dry eye disease, MGD, infections, toxicity of drops and contact lens care solutions, topography, cornea surgery and post-operative care, optics, refractive surgery and corneal stability (eg, UV cross-linking). Peer-reviewed and published six times annually, it is a highly respected scientific journal in its field.
