Besides, to put computers into operation for many tasks in tandem means that operator would necessarily sit before visual display terminal of computers screen demands that the user work within a very restricted posture range. This could have deteriorative effects on the eyes. Hence this study investigated the influence the pattern / manner of computer use in association with visual acuity among (National Open University of Nigeria) NOUN staff. The study was a cross-sectional survey which utilized multi-stage sampling method to recruit 297 staff from selected 17 NOUN Study Centres. A self-administered and structured questionnaire was used to obtain information for the study. Snellen’s test was used to observe visual acuity among the respondents. Findings from the study revealed that prolonged “daily” computer use is associated with less desirable visual acuity (p<0.05). Likewise, the longer the hours spent on daily computer use, the lesser the desirable visual acuity (p<0.05). It is, however, recommended that periodic eye examination and public health campaign should be adopted as preventive strategies in order to maintain vision integrity among computer usersenComputer use, Visual Acuity, Pattern of Computer UsageArticle
