Computer Vision Syndrome

Do you look at a computer screen all day?



Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a very real problem for many people who spend hours daily in front of a computer screen. CVS is a temporary condition from focusing the eyes on a computer display for uninterrupted periods of time.

Rearranging your workspace can create a better work environment. Such as a lighted work station, tilting your computer screen away from you, and taking breaks from looking at the computer every 15 minutes. This may simply be all you need to do to reduce eye strain and other vision related problems related to CVS.

Sometimes, a good pair of computer glasses may help you see better at just the right distance needed for viewing your computer screen. These glasses may be prescription lenses measured for your working environment or non-prescription Gunnar glasses. These lenses offer a specialized lens that combine special lens coatings and a unique tine designed to elimiate eye strain and fatigue.

The most common symptoms associated with CVS are:
Eyestrain
Headaches
Blurred vision
Dry eyes
Neck and shoulder pain
These symptoms may be caused by:
Poor lighting
Glare on the computer screen
Improper viewing distances
Uncorrected vision problems
