Symptoms experienced by CVS sufferers include dry eyes, red eyes, itching, watery eyes, loss of focus or blured vision, in some cases it also cause headaches, back pain, shoulder pain, and muscle spasms. This study aims to determine the relationship between the duration of computer use and computer vision syndrome subjective complaints among computer user workers at PT Jafpa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk Unit Cirebon in 2018. This was an analytical descriptive study with a cross sectional design.

The method of data collection was carried out by interview using a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the chi square test with a significance level of 5% (0.05). The result of statistical tests using chi square showed that there was a significant relationship between the duration of computer use and Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) subjective complaints with a p value 0.032 (<0.005).
