Methods: The present research is of observational-transversal design and of correlational scope that was applied to 200 students of the Technical University of Ambato and the SVI syndrome and Ergonomics instruments were applied. Results: Where it is found that (97.14%) present symptoms of SVI and 50% suffer moderate and high risk of suffering ergonomic problems. Conclusions: Computer visual syndrome was not significantly related to ergonomics in nursing students. However, it has been reported that most of the students suffer from symptoms of Computer Visual Syndrome, as well as they have a high risk of suffering ergonomic problems.
