Computer vision syndrome, also known as digital eye strain, results from prolonged use of electronic displays like computers, tablets, and phones. It can cause blurred vision, eye strain, headaches, and neck or back pain. If left untreated, it may worsen work performance and damage the eyes. To prevent and overcome computer vision syndrome, one should take regular breaks when using devices, maintain proper posture, reduce glare, and address any underlying visual issues with eye exams and corrective lenses. Blinking more frequently and having routine eye checkups can also help alleviate digital eye strain.
