Could You Have Computer Vision Syndrome?

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is characterized by tired and sore eyes, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and general body fatigue.

It is the number one complaint in the workplace and affects everyone who works on a computer.

CVS is brought on by the way your computer screen works. An image on the screen is made of thousands of tiny colored squares called pixels. These pixels are constantly changing in color and brightness, which causes your eyes to refocus. This constant refocusing is what causes the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.

Specialty Eyewear to Reduce CVS


The only surefire method to prevent CVS is to wear specially prescribed computer glasses. These can range from specialized multi-focal lenses to single focal lenses used specifically while at the computer.

However, you can combat the effects of CVS simply by properly setting up your workspace. Place your computer screen approximately 20-40 inches away from your eyes, directly in front of you, and position it so there is little to no glare on the screen. Make sure the screen height is set up properly so that it can be viewed with out looking down or slouching in your chair.

Finally, a desk lamp may be used to provide more light without increasing glare. While proper arrangement of your workplace will help reduce the effects of CVS, you should still consult your eye care provider to fully prevent Computer Vision Syndrome.
