The aim of that research was to assess the effectiveness of educational intervention about computer vision syndrome on the severity of eye complaints among computer users. Design: A quasi-experimental interventional study with pre-post evaluation was performed. Setting: The research was concluded in the administrative buildings of Zagazig University/Egypt. Subjects: Seventy-five computer operators were included in the current study. Tools: Three questionnaires were used for data gathering, which includes I. computer user's self-administered questionnaire, and Self- reported eye complaints' and computer users' CVS knowledge scale, II. Observation and measurement of the employees' computer ergonomic practices, and III. Assessment of the computer workstation design. Results: Following educational intervention by 1 and 3 months, the total-eye-complaints score, total-knowledge score, and the total protective ergonomic practices scores showed a statistically significant difference. Additionally, after one and three months, the overall workstation score showed a substantial mean difference. Conclusion: As a result of the educational intervention regarding computer vision syndrome and its preventive ergonomic practices, computer users' observed eye symptoms decreased, their knowledge about computer vision syndrome improved. Their protective ergonomic practices and workstation proposal were remodeled.
