If you use a computer more than two hours a day, you could be suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).
Sunday, August 1, 2010
A CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton explained CVS is associated with symptoms that come with sitting in front of a computer, hand-held device, iPhone, iPod for hours every day.
"The most common symptoms are: eye strain, dry or irritated eyes, fatigue, and headaches," CBS News quoted Ashton as saying.
She provides some quick tips to keep eye strain at bay:
1. Blink Often: When looking at a computer or hand-held digital device, it's common for you to blink two to three times less than you normally would.
This can lead to "dry eye." Blinking bathes your eyes in tears, and tears are naturally therapeutic for the eyes.
3. Ensure Proper Lighting: To help ease the strain on your eyes, keep bright lighting overhead to a minimum and position your desk lamp to shine on your desk, and not at you. Position your computer screen in a way that reduces reflections and glare from windows or overhead lights.
