520 _aBackground: Recently, there is a great shift to electronic devices use including computers and other visual display terminals (VDTs) in various aspects of life. The resultant visual and ocular symptoms lead to an emerging health issue called computer vision syndrome (CVS). The objectives of the study: Determining the prevalence of CVS among students of faculty of medicine in Cairo University and evaluating the association of various factors in computer use with occurrence of symptoms. Subjects &methods: This study is a cross-sectional one in which 260 medical students from different grades, not including those having chronic eye problems or recent eye operations, were interviewed and self-administered questionnaires were collected from them during the academic year 2016-2017. Results: CVS was found to affect 75% of the medical students being higher among females than males. The most frequent symptoms were headache (81.5%) and eye pain (63.8%). There is linear correlation between scores of CVS and number of hours of VDTs use. Taking breaks inbetween use is the most practiced preventive measure and the most effective one. Conclusion: CVS is affecting about three fourths of the medical students and there is a need for increasing awareness about CVS and its possible preventive measures
