The general objective was: "To determine electronically if the University teachers who carry out teleworking are suffering from" eye fatigue "". The internationally validated CVSS17 form was used for these types of conditions and it was generated electronically in the Forms program. The results, based on the symptoms of eye fatigue commonly reported in ophthalmological portals, were that approximately 40% of teachers who do telework are suffering from this symptomatology.
