Computer Vision Syndrome

Understanding Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)

In today’s digital era, prolonged screen time has become an unavoidable part of life, leading to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)—a condition that causes eye strain, dryness, headaches, and blurred vision. Whether you spend hours on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, excessive screen exposure can put immense stress on your eyes. At Geetha Eye Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and managing CVS, helping patients find effective solutions to reduce discomfort and improve eye health. If you experience burning sensations, double vision, or difficulty focusing after screen use, it’s time to take preventive action.

Causes and Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain

CVS occurs due to prolonged focusing on digital screens, leading to reduced blinking, poor posture, and increased exposure to blue light. Common symptoms include:

• Eye strain and fatigue after extended screen use
• Dryness, irritation, or redness due to decreased blinking
• Blurred or double vision, especially towards the end of the day
• Frequent headaches caused by continuous focus adjustments
• Neck, shoulder, or back pain due to improper screen ergonomics
