computer vision syndrome
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as Digital Eye Strain, is a common condition caused by prolonged screen time on computers, smartphones, and tablets. It leads to symptoms such as eye strain, dryness, headaches, blurred vision, and neck or shoulder pain due to continuous focus and exposure to blue light.
Ways to Prevent & Manage CVS:
• Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
• Blink More Often: To prevent dryness and irritation.
• Adjust Screen Settings: Use anti-glare filters and adjust brightness to match room lighting.
• Use Proper Lighting: Avoid excessive glare from screens or overhead lights.
• Maintain Correct Posture: Keep the screen at eye level and sit at a comfortable distance.
• Use Lubricating Eye Drops: To keep eyes moist and reduce strain.
