The participants were surveyed using a pre-tested structured questionnaire through google forms. In this, factors affecting single and multiple symptoms of CVS were compared. Results: A total of 253 students were included in the study based on the In the population studied,129/253 (51%) were females, 120/253(47.4%) were males The use rate of mobile phone174/253 (68.5%) was higher and the majority153/253 (60.4%) of their screen time were for more than 3 hours. The prevalence was found to be 97.2% among the students. The present study showed that almost all the students complained of any one of the symptoms of CVS while using a computer/gadget.
