Abstract

Abstract: Police officers who work outdoors are exposed to ultraviolet and air pollution which have a direct and cumulative impact on eye. Meanwhile, police officers who work indoors are exposed to radiation of computer/laptop that can cause eyestrain. In addition, the usage of AC can also cause eye problem. This study aimed to obtain the eye-related complaints of indoors and outdoors police officers at Polda Gorontalo. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Samples were 50 respondents divided into 2 groups: outdoors and indoors police officers. The result showed that most of the police who worked outdoors (56%) complained blurred and strained eyes after being exposed to ultraviolet exposures within hours. Moreover, most respondents (72%) complained of itchy eyes due to air pollution. Meanwhile, police officers who worked indoors complained of blurred (92%) and strained eyes (100%) due to the usage of laptops or computers, and painful eyes (64%) due to air condition.
