Objective: To determine the prevalence of Computer Vision Syndrome and its association with ergonomic risk. Methods: Descriptive observational study. The population studied included 75 teachers of the Atenas Educational Unit. Results and Conclusions: Workers exposed to a high and very high risk level have an increase of 8 and 10 times, respectively, in the possibility of having computer visual syndrome. An association is evidenced between the presence of Computer Visual Syndrome and the exposure to high and very high ergonomic risk levels during teleworking, other factors that may influence its appearance, such as the daily use of cell phones, tablets; nor the pre-existing health conditions of each worker, mainly ophthalmic pathologies, have not been analyzed.
