Computer Vision Syndrome

If you are constantly in front of the computer, then you may already know what we talking about. Sudden blurred vision, an inability to distinguish black and white, squinting, and blinking just to make out what you are reading is a common problem experienced by many of us. There are times, when you have no problem reading anything at all, and then there are those times, when your vision depreciates quite rapidly while working on the computer and you end up feeling frustrated as you move your head back and forth trying to finish that project due early morning.

The fact is everything needs a break and everything has to be done in moderation. If you are constantly staring at the computer screen for a majority of your day at work, then your eyes are going to experience exhaustion from the glare. Most people with normal vision, will have no problem reading and working on the screen by day, but come night fall, the intensity of the glare increases, and so does the strain on your eyes.
Computer Vision symptoms are diverse and although is commonly associated with blurred vision and eye strain, the condition is also accompanied by headaches, neck and shoulder aches, and dry eyes. Computer Vision is triggered by bad lighting; incorrect posture, extended use of the computer without proper breaks, not blinking, and uncorrected vision problems. If you job entails long hours in front of the computer, you will need to wear protective eye gear and also have your eyes tested every six-to-eight months. Computer vision can be very sudden, and go on to almost ruin your vision quite rapidly if precautionary care is not taken. For this reason, a full eye examination is necessary to examine the damage, and reverse the symptoms.

The precautionary step to preventing such vision problems while working on the computer is to make use of the day light to complete your work on the computer. Moving your schedule around to ensure the majority of your work on the computer takes place while the sun is the sky will prevent you from working in to the night with bad lighting. Most patients who struggle with computer vision, as those that work late into the night, with bad lighting, which is the first and most obvious cause for this type of visual problem. Move your meetings and errands to the late evening or night if possible.

Always have your eyes a few inches over the screen and at least 16 inches away from the screen. Your eyes should be at a 30 degrees angle to the top of the screen. Keep your back straight, and remember to look away ever 20 minutes while closing your eyes.
