Abstract
Objective: To investigate health and safety risks related to computer use among software professionals.
Methodology: This cross-sectional survey was undertaken among Lahore software professionals. The questionnaire has sensitivity and specificity over 70% and achieved good test-retest repeatability both for the scores obtained [ICC=0.802; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.673, 0.884] and CVS classification (κ=0.612; 95% CI: 0.384, 0.839). All participants were subjected to a binary logistic regression analysis using the dichotomous dependent variable of ‘presence of computer vision syndrome’ and the continuous/dichotomous independent variables of age, gender, duration of work, and daily computer usage. In addition, the frequency, percent, cross-tabulation, charts. Chi-square, and binary logistic regression models were applied. The data were analyzed using the SPSS version 25.
Results: Out of 112 subjects, 62.5% were male and 37.5% female. Mean age was 25.51±4.23 (range 17-45). Out of 112 subjects, 68.8% had computer vision syndrome.
Conclusion: Computer vision syndrome is common in software professionals, which needs adjustments in the work place.
