Computer vision syndrome (CVS),also known as digital eye strain, is a group of eye-related problems that can occur when you use a computer or other digital device for extended periods.

Symptoms of CVS can include:

• Eye strain
• Dry eyes
• Headaches
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Blurred vision
• Double vision
• Eye fatigue
• Difficulty focusing

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see an eye doctor to rule out any underlying eye conditions.

How to Protect Your Eyes from Computer-Related Eye Strain

There are a number of things you can do to protect your eyes from computer-related eye strain. These include:

• Use the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look away from your computer screen and focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This will help to give your eyes a chance to rest.
• Take breaks. Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes. This will help to improve your circulation and reduce eye strain.
• Adjust your screen settings. Make sure your computer screen is at a comfortable brightness and contrast level. You may also want to consider using a blue light filter to reduce the amount of blue light emitted from your screen.
• Position your computer screen correctly. Your computer screen should be positioned so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. The screen should also be about an arm's length away from your face.
• Use a document holder. If you need to refer to a document while you're working on your computer, use a document holder to position the document at the same level as your screen. This will help to reduce eye strain.
• Get regular eye exams. Regular eye exams are important for maintaining good eye health. Your eye doctor can check for any eye problems that may be causing or contributing to computer-related eye strain.

Other Tips for Protecting Your Eyes

In addition to the tips above, there are a number of other things you can do to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of digital devices. These include:

• Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to protect your eyes from damage.
• Get regular exercise. Regular exercise can help to improve your overall health and well-being, including your eye health.
• Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses can protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays.
• Don't smoke. Smoking can damage your eyes and increase your risk of developing eye diseases.

By following these tips, you can help to protect your eyes from computer-related eye strain and other eye problems. If you experience any eye problems, be sure to see an eye doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
