What is Computer Vision Syndrome?

This condition describes a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer use. Many individuals experience eye discomfort and vision problems when viewing a computer screen for extended periods. The level of discomfort appears to increase with the amount of computer use.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms associated with Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) are

• eyestrain
• headaches
• blurred vision
• dry eyes
• neck and shoulder pain
• light sensitivity
• double vision

These symptoms may be caused by poor lighting, glare on the computer screen, improper viewing distances, poor seating posture, uncorrected vision problems or a combination of these factors. If you are a regular computer user or a computer professional, it is recommended that you have your eyes tested atleast once in a year.
