As the technology advancement, we tend to work more using computer or another video display terminals (VDT). VDT usage often causes eyes problems (computer vision syndrome) or even refractive errors. This study aims to evaluate computer or VDT exposure as prognostic factor in myopia regression among young adults. Literature review method using medical journal is conducted through three databases (PubMed, Cochrane, and Ebsco). Keywords used are myopia, myopia progression, computer, and job (including their synonyms). Thirty-two articles were collected. Through title and abstract screening, filtering doubles, and exclusion, only three articles that can be critically appraised. Based on these articles, myopia progression proportion among the population is around 10,5% with myopia progression risk around −0,16 D annually. Myopia progression predictor factor is near work (along with computer and VDT usage). Myopia progression is related with near work notably computer usage. Thus, near work exposure should be decreased to prevent myopia progression.
