Abstract
Objective: To study the ocular aspects of Computer Visual Syndrome (SRVC). Methods: A study with a mixed methodology, performed at the Bettina Ferro de Sousa University Hospital (HUBFS), Belém-Pará, in employees who used computer (PC) for an excessive time, had at least three symptoms and didnt have ophthalmic diseases. Those who refused to complete the questionnaire and didnt use the eye drops correctly were excluded. The data were collected through the evaluation of the questionnaires. The study was carried on the recommendations of the National Council of Ethics in Research (NCER). Results: The prevalence of the syndrome was 75.4% (95% CI [64.9% -85.9%]). Sex did not show statistical significance. Variables such as inadequate artificial lighting, brightness of the screen, and hours / day in front of the PC, presented statistical significance in the comparison with SVRC (p <0.05). Symptoms such as fatigue, headache and dryness, had significant reduction after use of eye drops (p<0,05). Conclusion: SRVC was highly prevalent in the study population. It was proven a directly proportional association between number of hours / day versus PC and number of symptoms presented. The use of lubricating drops reduced the reported symptoms, as well as improved performance in the work.
