Sumario:Objective: To explore the incidence of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) in patients with chronic diseases related to the use of Visual Display Terminals (VDT) on inside or outside working hours. Materials and Methods: Analytical descriptive study performed on 25 patients with chronic diseases in a medical center in Mendoza, Argentina. Socio-demographic variables were studied, and CVS was determined by means of the standardized CVS-Q questionnaire. Results: It was found that 68% of the sample were females, and age ranged between 20-80 years old (mean=50.12). Also 80% of the sample referred to use VDT within working hours obtaining an average of 2.64 ± 2.23 hours (mean ± ds). Conclusions: Of the 25 patients who participated in the study, 13 were above the CVS-Q threshold (≥6). It was found that 46% of respondents depend on devices with VDT in the work environment.
