Eye fatigue can cause physical disorders such as headaches, double vision, glare at night, red eyes and various other vision problems.

This research was conducted with quantitative research methods with a cross-sectional study design using primary data from measurements of light intensity, visibility, interviews, and questionnaires to 53 workers. The research sample was workers in the TQA, Finance and HR departments who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The dependent variables studied were complaints of eye fatigue and the independent variables were the lighting level, monitor duration, age, visibility and length of service. The results of the bivariate analysis showed a relationship between the intensity of lighting, the duration of use of the monitor, and the distance of the monitor with complaints of eye fatigue. Companies are advised to provide information on workers regarding eye fatigue, and workers are advised to rest their eyes from the monitor's view every 20 minutes for 20 seconds.
