Abstract
Objective: To analyze the risk factors related to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), as well as which ergonomic interventions are effective in maintaining this pathology and improving quality of life. Methods: This is an integrative literature review that collected bibliographic data on risk factors and ergonomic interventions in CVS. The results of the review revealed 21 publications, from 2010 to 2020, which were adequate with the established inclusion criteria. Results: There are several risk factors related to CVS. Environmental factors: those related to computer use, related to viewing habits and the workplace. Individual factors: higher prevalence of CVS symptoms in females, in addition to refractive problems, dry eyes, and musculoskeletal factors. The best approach to CVS includes interventions in terms of workplace ergonomics, refractive correction, user education, lighting and planning of breaks during computer visualization tasks. Final considerations: Therefore, being a result of multiple causes, SVC requires a tailored intervention for effective prevention and treatment, improving the quality of life of this population.
