'If you spend any length of time in front of a computer, you've probably experienced some form of eye strain, vision headaches or other stress in your visual system.
And you're not alone. According to the American Optometric Association, upwards of 8 out of 10 computer users report some type of eye strain at the computer. The problem is so prevalent it's been given a name: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).
The symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome include:
- eyes hurting or over-tired
- eyes burning or itching
- dry, or watery, eyes
- double vision
- blurry eyesight (either at the computer or in the distance)
- the need for glasses for the first time
- the need for stronger prescriptions
- headaches, neck, shoulder and back tension
- increased sensitivity to light
Using a computer does place a unique set of demands on your eyes. But it's not inevitable for your eyes to hurt at the computer, or for you to experience eye strain at the computer, once you know how to use your eyes correctly for the task, and what to do at the first sign of tension or fatigue.'
