It is characterised by dryness, redness, itching and watering of eyes, including heaviness of the eyelids or forehead and difficulty in focusing. These symptoms can cause headaches, backaches, neck aches and muscle spasms. And often people suffering from CVS are not even aware of the condition.

Some tips to help you prevent Computer Vision Syndrome:

1) Get your eyes examined annually. Let your eye care professional know your working hours on a computer.

2) Take frequent breaks while working on the computer and make, an effort to blink repeatedly throughout the day.

3) Make sure you are not doing any other work requiring vision during these breaks as that is no relief for the eyes.

Even monitors with anti-glare treatments may not be enough to reduce reflections below the threshold on human sensitivity. Add an anti-glare computer filter to your monitors. Use drapes, shades, or blinds.
