How To Avoid Computer Eye Strain

If you love the convenience of online shopping, banking, and socializing, there's a good chance you're spending a lot of hours staring at a flickering computer screen. Because so many people do, there's an official name for the eyestrain that can result: computer vision syndrome (CVS). Computers can make us more productive, but the bad news is that too much screen time can also lead to something called computer vision syndrome (CVS).

The condition likely doesn’t cause permanent eye damage, but it can still affect computer users’ comfort. The most common symptoms of CVS include eyestrain, redness, irritation or dryness, a burning feeling in the eyes, blurred or double vision after computer use, headaches and neck and shoulder pain.

If computer screens are proving a pain in your eyes, here are some guidelines to help ease symptoms:

·      Checked your eyes regularly

·      Reposition the computer

·      Take a few minutes break

·      Check your glasses
