A cross-sectional study was done to determine the prevalence of computer vision syndrome, knowledge and attitude on visual ergonomics among administrative staff in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

Results: Of 146 respondents, a total of 92 (63%) respondents had computer vision syndrome.

There was significant association between gender and level of knowledge on visual ergonomics (p=0.003). Conclusion: Computer vision syndrome is prevalent among the administrative staff.
