Can Your PC Affect the Way You See??

Long hours spent staring at a computer screen could be affecting your vision. Individuals with Moebius Syndrome usually have some visual impairments and should take extra precautions when operating any digital device.
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) affects approximately 90 percent of people who spend two or more hours sitting in front of a computer screen, smartphone or e-reader. Symptoms associated with CVS are eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, neck and shoulder pain.
Opthalmologists can usually diagnose CVS through tests conducted during an eye examination. Special lenses or vision therapy may be recommended.
The American Optometric Association suggests computer users consider lighting conditions, chair comfort, location of reference materials, position of the monitor and the use of rest breaks during prolonged use.
