Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) affects a significant portion of India's working population.
It is leading to leading to discomfort and visual strain during prolonged computer use. Recognizing this issue is crucial for preventing long-term eye health problems.
Causes and Symptoms of CVS
Refractive errors result from irregularities in the shape of the eye, affecting how light bends and focuses. Genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and aging contribute to these conditions.
Symptoms include eye discomfort, dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, neck or shoulder pain, and sensitivity to light. These signs often worsen with prolonged screen use. Studies explore the effects of blue light, screen glare, and ergonomic factors on visual comfort and eye strain.
Understanding the Triggers
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) arises from the abrupt shift to prolonged screen use without adequate visual breaks. Unlike traditional office setups that offered natural pauses between tasks, digital devices demand continuous near-focused vision, causing eye strain and fatigue.
The constant visual demands, reduced blink rate, improper viewing distances, and screen glare contribute to the development of CVS. This modern lifestyle disrupts the natural rhythm of our visual system, leading to discomfort and prevalent CVS symptoms.
