Factors Related to Eye Fatigue in Tailor Workers at Kwala Bekala Inpres Market Medan City in 2025
đ Abstract
Â
Introduction: Eye fatigue is a visual response due to intensive and continuous eye use, which is not only experienced by formal computer users but also informal workers such as tailors. Sewing work that requires continuous close visual focus is the basis for this study. This study aims to determine the factors related to eye fatigue in tailors at the Kwala Bekala Inpres Market, Medan City in 2025. Methods: This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample consisted of all 35 tailors at the study location who were selected using a total sampling technique. Eye fatigue data were measured using the ASQ-17 questionnaire. Data collection of age, history of eye refraction, and length of work was carried out through interviews, while the distance to see objects was measured using a tape measure and lighting was measured using a Multifunction environment meter Krisbow 4 in 1 KW06-291. Data analysis used the Fisher exact test. Results: The results showed that 26 tailors (74.3%) experienced eye fatigue, with dizziness or headaches being the most common symptoms. Statistical tests showed a relationship between the history of eye refraction (p = 0,050), viewing distance of objects (p = 0,015), length of work (p = 0,030), and lighting level (p = 0,001) with eye fatigue. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the history of eye refraction, viewing distance of objects, length of work, and lighting level with eye fatigue in tailor workers at the Kwala Bekala Inpres Market, Medan City in 2025. Tailors are advised to use glasses that suit their eye refraction when working, adjust the working distance, do eye relaxation, adjust the layout of the sewing work table, and can add lighting sources to the work stall to reduce the risk of eye fatigue.
