Objective: To study the presence of symptoms of computer vision syndrome (CVS) in people who spend their working day in front of video-displays. Materials and methods: 280 people (560 eyes) were examined, whose working day is spent eight hours working in front of a computer devices. Examination of visual acuity, refraction, biomicroscopy and filling in a questionnaire for self-assessment of the ocular health condition were performed. Results: The mean age of subjects was 33±8.4. In all individuals the reduced visual acuity was a result of some refractive errors, in a very large percentage of cases uncorrected or insufficiently corrected. Objectively, on biomicroscopy signs of „dry eye“ in 43.72% of the examined people were found. The questionnaires’ analysis demonstrated that symptoms of CVS occur in 85% of the respondents, with 62.5% having both astenopic complaints and „dry eye“ symptoms. More than 2/3 of answers considered their ocular health to be insufficiently good. Less than 10% of respondents were aware of the preventive measures they could take to reduce the negative visual symptoms. Conclusion: Prophylactic eye examinations are extremely important for screening of the ocular health in people working with computer devices. This type of activity has a negative impact on the eye health, leading to the manifestation of CVS symptoms, which impair the quality of life of these individuals. The role of the general practitioners in informing and correctly referring these patients is paramount.
