Abstract
Bamboo weaving is a job that requires high visual accuracy, thus requiring adequate lighting conditions to support workers' eye health. Lighting that does not meet standards and visual activities carried out continuously for long periods can cause eye fatigue and potentially lead to impaired visual acuity. Based on a preliminary study in Payaman Village, Lamongan, most bamboo weaving workers use household lamps as a source of lighting while working and many complain of eye disorders. This study aims to analyze the relationship between lighting intensity and complaints of eye fatigue with impaired visual acuity in bamboo weaving workers in Payaman Village, Lamongan. Method: This study used an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was 97 bamboo weaving workers and a sample of 78 respondents was obtained using the Slovin formula with a simple random sampling technique. Lighting intensity was measured using a lux meter, complaints of eye fatigue were measured using a questionnaire, while visual acuity was measured using a Snellen Chart. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 5%. Result and Discussion: The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between lighting intensity and visual acuity disorders (p-value = 0.006; OR = 3.710; 95% CI = 1.430–9.629) and there was a relationship between complaints of eye fatigue and visual acuity disorders (p-value = 0.003; OR = 4.125; 95% CI = 1.575–10.803). Conclusion: It was concluded that lighting intensity that did not meet standards and complaints of eye fatigue were associated with an increased risk of visual acuity disorders in bamboo weaving workers.
