Eye Health in the Digital Age: Preventing Computer Vision Syndrome

With increased screen time from work, study, and entertainment, Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is becoming a common concern. This modern eye strain can impact productivity and long-term eye health if left unaddressed.

Symptoms to Watch For

• Blurred or double vision

• Eye fatigue and dryness

• Headaches

• Neck or shoulder discomfort
  

Children and adults who spend prolonged hours on devices are most susceptible.

Preventive Measures

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds

• Adjust screen brightness and contrast

• Use anti-reflective lenses and maintain proper posture
