What is Computer Vision Syndrome?
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as Digital Eye Strain, is a group of eye and vision-related problems resulting from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader, and cell phone use. Many individuals experience eye discomfort and vision problems when viewing digital screens for extended periods. The level of discomfort appears to increase with the amount of digital screen use.
The symptoms of CVS are caused by a combination of factors, including poor lighting, screen glare, improper viewing distances, poor seating posture, and uncorrected vision problems. These symptoms can be alleviated with appropriate adjustments and treatments, ensuring that prolonged digital screen use does not compromise eye health.
Why You Need to Address Computer Vision Syndrome
In our digital age, the use of computers and other digital devices has become an integral part of daily life. Whether for work, education, or entertainment, many people spend hours each day in front of screens. This extended screen time can lead to Computer Vision Syndrome, a condition that can significantly impact eye health and overall quality of life. Addressing CVS is essential to maintaining good vision and preventing long-term eye damage.
What is causing Computer Vision Syndrome?
- Prolonged use of digital screens without breaks can strain the eyes and lead to CVS.
- Sitting too close or too far from the screen can cause eye discomfort and strain.
- Pre-existing vision issues, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, can worsen the symptoms of CVS when left uncorrected.
- Inadequate lighting and glare from screens can exacerbate eye strain.
