Computer Vision Syndrome: How Screens Affect Your Eyes

Spending long hours on computers and smartphones can lead to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as digital eye strain.

Common symptoms

• Eye fatigue
• Headaches
• Dry eyes
• Neck and shoulder pain

Why does it happen?

When using screens, people blink less frequently, causing dryness and strain. Poor posture and improper lighting also contribute.

Prevention tips

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule
• Maintain proper screen distance
• Blink frequently
• Use anti-glare screens

Healthy screen habits can significantly reduce eye strain and improve comfort during work.
