COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME / DIGITAL EYE STRAIN

Are digital screens affecting your vision?

Turns out, they could be. Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a.k.a. digital eye strain, refers to a group of vision-related issues that can pop up from using digital devices for a long period of time.

Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome

  • Dry eyes
  • Headaches
  • Blurred vision

  • Eyestrain
  • Neck and shoulder pain

How to go easier on your eyes

In addition to having to focus and refocus on screens, there's a 60% decrease in the amount of blinking when using digital devices, which can dry out your eyes, contributing to the possibility of digital eye strain.

Fortunately, there are ways to help.

  • Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes
  • Keep your computer screen 20-28 inches away from your face and slightly below eye level
  • Try to remember to blink

Footnotes

#Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.
WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.
