What is Computer Vision Syndrome?

Computer Vision Syndrome, also known as Digital Eye Strain, is a condition caused by prolonged and uninterrupted use of digital screens, commonly experienced by those who spend long hours working on computers.

What are the Causes of Computer Vision Syndrome?

Prolonged Exposure to digital Screens: Computers have become an integral part of our daily lives, serving multiple purposes ranging from work and study to entertainment. However, viewing digital screens for long periods can have adverse effects on our eye health.

 

Inadequate Blinking: Research has shown that individuals blink significantly less while using computers, reducing the average blink rate from 15 to 20 times per minute to 6 to 8 times per minute. This prolonged exposure causes dryness in the tear film and can lead to dry eyes. To avoid this, it is crucial to take frequent breaks while using a computer and look away from the screen periodically.

 

Additionally, the lack of well-defined edges and contrast in letters on the computer screen can cause eye discomfort and fatigue. The constant refocusing on characters can lead to eye strain, burning, and computer eye strain.

 

Constant Refocusing: Individuals who spend prolonged hours working on a computer can take preventative measures by adjusting the display settings, including font size and brightness, to reduce eye strain. It is also important to ensure that the lighting in the room is adequate and does not cause further discomfort.

 

In addition to these, other factors that can contribute to this eye condition include:

 

  • Improper sitting position while using the computer.
  • Inadequate lighting causes reflections or glares, as well as excessively bright or dim images.
  • Infrequent blinking leads to dry eyes.
  • Wearing incorrect eyeglasses or not using any at all when working on the computer.
  • The color of the walls in the room where you work.
  • Lack of an anti-reflective coating on the computer screen or eyeglasses.
  • Direct exposure to air blowing from an air-conditioner or fan onto the eyes.
Computer Vision Syndrome Symptoms

In order to avoid permanent damage to your eyesight, it is crucial for digital display users to identify signs of Digital Eye Strain symptoms, which include

 

  • Heaviness on the eyes
  • Prolonged Use of Electronic Devices
  • Blurred vision or Double Vision
  • Dry eyes
  • Headaches
  • Blue Light Exposure
  • Poor Lighting Conditions
  • Lack of Blinking
Computer Vision Syndrome Prevention

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a common condition that affects individuals who spend long hours working on computers. The following measures can help prevent CVS:

 

  • Adjust your computer screen: Place it 4-8 inches below eye level and at a distance of 20-28 inches from your eyes.
  • Reduce glare: Turn on lighting, use glare filters over the screen, and avoid harsh reflections.
  • Use a document holder: Keep documents close to avoid swinging your head back and forth or changing focus repeatedly.
  • Maintain proper humidity levels: Fumes or low humidity can worsen dry eye disease, so maintain proper humidity levels in your workplace.
  • Blink often: Blink more often to lubricate the eyes and prevent dryness and irritation.
  • Take breaks: Follow the 20-20-20 rule, i.e., take a break every 20 minutes, look away beyond 20 feet, and blink 20 times.
  • Use artificial tears: Consult your doctor and use artificial tears to lubricate your eyes if you experience dryness and irritation.

By implementing these measures, you can reduce the risk of eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck and shoulder pain caused by CVS. If you experience persistent eye problems or symptoms, consult an ophthalmologist for expert advice and treatment.
