The purpose of this study was to identify CVS complaints and analyze the relationship between smartphone use in terms of gender, distance, length of rest and duration with CVS disorders in 2018-2020 FKM, UNDANA students during Work From Home (WFH).

The results showed that as many as 247 students experienced CVS disorders with the most complaining symptoms being eye fatigue and the results of the chi-square test for the sex variable p = 0.250 (p>0.05) meaning there was no relationship between gender and the incidence of CVS, distance the use of p = 0.005 (p < 0.05) and the contingency coefficient = 0.165, it means that there is a very low relationship between the distance of smartphone use and the incidence of CVS, rest time p = 0.226 (p> 0.05) it means there is no relationship between rest time and the incidence of CVS, and duration of use p = 0.000 (p <0.05) and the contingency coefficient = 0.233 means that there is a low relationship between duration of use and the incidence of CVS. The conclusion is that the most complained of symptoms are eye fatigue and tension, while the least complaint is the eyes seeing twins and there is a very low relationship between distance of use and CVS, there is a low relationship between duration of use and CVS, while gender and rest time are not associated with CVS
