Computer Vision Syndrome affects about 70% of the people in developed countries. They experience eye discomfort and vision problems when viewing a computer screen for more than 2 hour daily. The level of discomfort appears to increase with the amount of computer use.
The most common symptoms of CVS are:
- eyestrain
- headaches
- blurred vision
- dry eyes
- dry, irritated eyes
- double vision
- difficulty refocusing the eyes
- neck and shoulder pain
If any of these sounds familiar to you it’s about time to take care of your eyes.
