Association between visual acuity, ocular pathology and refractive error with computer vision syndrome: A cross sectional university study in Kenya

Background: Numerous factors have been shown to reduce symptomatic and non-symptomatic forms of computer vision syndrome. However, little is known about the magnitude visual symptoms among users diagnosed with severe Therefore this study aimed at determining whether reduced acuity, anterior segment conditions, refractive error are associated Material methods: A cross-sectional university-based was carried university students (n = 783). Visual acuity determined using Snellen chart. The conditions were through a comprehensive examination slit lamp. Computer syndrome assessed subjective approach developed questionnaire. Retinoscopy conducted determine status. Results: Results showed that participants above ± 0.50 diopters had greater odds multivariate adjusted ratio 0.73 (95% CI: 0.63–0.90) for having found multivariate-adjusted 0.31 0.24–0.47), also ratios 0.45 0.39–0.78), indicating significance association Conclusion: Reduced presence likelihood reporting
