Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of computer vision syndrome (CVS) and the risk factors associated with it among university teachers.
Methodology: A self-administered questionnaire was used for this cross-sectional study which included 195 lecturers at public and private institutions in Pakistan. The questionnaire comprised symptoms and risk factors for developing CVS that have been validated.
Results: We found that 90.8% individuals had experienced neck or shoulder discomfort as a result of extended computer use. As a whole, 77% participants had a mild, moderate, or severe headache, and 62.7% had burning eyes. Teachers at public institutions were 1.7 times more likely to be affected from CVS than teachers at private universities.
Conclusion: The majority of teachers experienced one or more of the symptoms of CVS when working on computers. Because the use of computers has grown widespread in higher education institutions, the topic of CVS prevention and accompanying pain should be included in the curriculum.

Key words: Technology, computer,headache, musculoskeletal abnormalities.
