The Condition of Decreased Eye Vision (Myopia) in Production Operators in The Workplace Impact on The Quality of Production Results

Abstract

Myopia or nearsightedness is a vision condition that cannot see distant objects clearly. This condition is increasingly common around the world, including in Indonesia. In the workplace, myopia can be a problem for production operators who need sharp vision to perform their tasks well. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of decreased eye vision (myopia) in production operators in the workplace and its impact on the quality of production results. This research uses qualitative research methods. The data collection technique in this research is by literature study. The data that has been collected is then processed through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that operators suffering from myopia can experience a decrease in production output for three main reasons, including myopia sufferers tend to have difficulty seeing details that can affect the accuracy and quality of work, myopia conditions can cause eye fatigue which can reduce the efficiency and productivity of operators in carrying out production tasks and myopia can cause discomfort in physical members, such as the neck, shoulders and back, due to improper posture during work. In addition, myopia can also increase the risk of work accidents due to impaired vision.
