Background: To understand if binocular vision disorders are associated with Digital Eye Strain Syndrome (DESS), a study protocol is needed to ensure consistency across observational studies. This aims test the feasibility of assess DESS, screen time, vision, and dry eye. Methods: DESIROUS an cross-sectional among Polytechnic students at Lisbon School Health Technology, Portugal. The includes three questionnaires (Computer Vision Questionnaire [CVS-Q], Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey [CISS], Dry version 5 [DEQ-5]), assessment visual acuity (cover for near distance, stereopsis, point convergence (NPC), accommodation (NPA), accommodative facility, vergence), ocular surface break-up tear (BUT) test. were validated using Cronbach's alpha. Interobserver variability BUT was assessed Cohen's Kappa, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Bland-Altman analysis involving observers (A, B, C), compared against expert as gold standard. Results: A total 18 included in validation phase (mean age: 21.50 ± 0.62 years; females: 77.8%). internal CVS-Q (α = 0.773) CISS 0.756) considered good, while DEQ-5 showed reasonable 0.594). Observer had highest agreement standard (Cohen's Kappa 0.710 p < 0.001; ICC 0.924, 0.001). Conclusions: We provide surface, emphasis on objective measures integrating other approaches. Further studies necessary validate this protocol, potentially incorporating new enhance its validity different populations.

Background In this modern era, the practice of online learning and various academic assignments necessitate use digital device among university students. With prolonged inappropriate use, they are prone to risk experiencing eye strain (DES). Such health conditions involve 16 predominant symptoms that might cause severe discomfort if not well treated. Since most students still do aware about its consequences, it is paramount importance deal with issue. Purpose To investigate knowledge, attitude, (KAP) on (DES) healthcare at a private university. Methods A cross-sectional, observational, questionnaire-based research survey analysis was conducted The participants’ recruitment using convenience purposive sampling technique. For data analysis, statistical tests encompassing Chi-square test, multivariate logistic regression Spearman’s correlation coefficient test were carried out. Results Our study included 350 personnel. majority respondents male ( n = 177, 50.6%), those aged 18–25 years 250, 71.4%), pursued Bachelor’s degree in Faculty Medicine Biomedical Science 96, 27.4%).

The university population has high visual demands. It is therefore important to assess the prevalence of symptoms in these subjects, which may affect their academic performance. In this cross-sectional study, a randomized sample 252 subjects from answered Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) questionnaire. addition, questions were asked about blurred vision during and after near tasks, number hours per day spent vision, whether or not they wore glasses. Furthermore, 110 underwent an eye exam, including refraction accommodation assessment. mean age was 28.79 ± 11.36 years, 62.3% reported wearing glasses, on average 7.20 2.92 hours/day vision. CISS score 18.69 9.96, according its criteria, 38% symptomatic. Some significantly (p < 0.05) more frequent Accommodative dysfunctions present 30.9% most common being insufficiency accommodation.
