Some people chose this as a way of life while some to play games but too much stress on sensitive eyes would lead to no good but pain.

Learn about the disadvantages of prolonged screen time and why prevention is better than cure.

Computer Vision Syndrome is dangerous and can lead to various health casualties in the long run. Software engineers, business professionals, hackers, gamers you name it but one thing definitely unites them and that is long durations of sitting in front of a screen.

Now, this can happen due to quite a few reasons.

Now, before jumping into conclusions, the need to understand the importance of the eyes is prime. Our eyes fall under the 5 important sense organs we have. The power of sight can be considered a gift and we should at all time try to protect this privilege of ours. Imagine going blind for a day? Seems pretty impossible right?

So why not be careful about its betterment and try to take up measures to prevent a casualty?

Although the question remains. Do I already have Computer Vision Syndrome?

Possible Symptoms

If you or your family member has been experiencing these symptoms lately, a diagnosis by an optometrist would be very necessary. Ignoring the same may lead to severe problems that may have an adverse effect on your health status.

Serious diseases should also not be ignored in these cases, for example, the likes of Glaucoma is very much possible due to CVS. The high pressure created on your eyes to view content or object that has a high contrast rate can cause Glaucoma. Intraocular pressure is what determines the pressure inside our eyes and too much pressure can lead to vision loss as well.

How to take precautions to avoid Computer Vision Syndrome?

Avoiding CVS is simple and doesn't require you to be a superhero to be the prevent the same. Changing regular screen time habits and understanding the need to protect your eyes would be our first step towards a cure.

Some other useful prevention methods are mentioned below which you are free to refer to.

Eye Drops

Medical Industry has a bunch of eye drops to offer that provide temporary solutions to our immediate problems. They are effective and easy to use. If you experience back eye strain or redness of eyes due to long office hours or a group gaming session, you can consult your doctor and make use of these eye drops that are easily available at any convenience store nearby if the opthalmologist prescribes it.

Soothe the strained eyes

Cucumber is cool and dropping in a couple of them over your eyes while you relax is also an easy hack to less strained eyes. Cucumber contains a lot of water in it and has hydrating benefits. Beauty professionals have always used this as a common hack to relaxation and are a common way of getting out those ugly dark spots around your eyes. If you are allergic to a cucumber which no one or whatever the cause may be, you can use a regular wet tissue or any eye pad if you are trying to go really fancy.

Switch your screen.

High contrast and low-quality display can also be a factor that leads to depleted eye quality. As we strive towards modernisation, certain companies have started to come up with good quality displays which go easy on your eyes and designed to produce better images while keeping your eyes safe at the same time.

So do not let an old and outdated display hamper your eyes, rather go for an extra buck and prevent further problems.

Alter your work routine

By this, we don't mean that you stop working or take early retirement. Rather, we ask you not to sit continuously in front of the screen and take breaks at regular intervals to let your eyes rest. You should always maintain a safe distance of 20-40 inches from the screen.

Following these simple precautionary methods can help you take care of your eyes and will bring longevity to your sight.
