The sampling technique used is accidental sampling. The results obtained are based on the significance value (P-value) obtained < alpha value (α) (0.05), namely age (0.003), length of service (0.019), use of visual aids or glasses (0.023) and lighting in the work environment (0.030) which means that these 4 factors have an influence on eye health disorders. While gender has no influence with a significance value of 0.539. The conclusion in this study is that almost all factors have a significant influence on eye health problems experienced by respondents.
