| Computer Vision Syndrome | Computer Vision Syndrome is a problem connected with eyes because of computer use that lasts for a long time. People begin suffering from eye strain, irritation and back, neck, shoulder, and wrist soreness.
The problem of Computer Vision Syndrome is quite widespread. 88% of American people are familiar with this problem. Children who spend more than two hours daily working on a computer are prone to computer vision syndrome (CVS). There are such symptoms of CVS as:
 • Headaches
• Loss of focus
• Burning/tired eyes
• Double/blurred vision
• Neck and shoulder pains
The cause of CVS is a difficulty with keeping focus on objects on the monitor, because the objects are the brightest in the centre and it is difficult for eyes to move from the cetre to the edges. The eyes' muscles get fatigued and burned, tired after sitting before a computer monitor.
The distance between a computer monitor and eyes should be 18"-28". If you suffer from CVS, You should attend an eye specialist who will prescribe you necessary computer eyeglasses. An anti-reflective (AR) coating available on them helps to avoid glare and reflections on the front and the back of the lenses hindering focusing on the monitor. The computer glasses are required for clear vision and good seeing vision beyond the computer. A light tint used in your computer lenses lessens the amount of light got into your eyes and provides sometimes relief. 70% of computer users require computer eyeglasses, especially children. People who do not suffer from computer syndrom can use computer glasses for better productivity. If you have vision insurance, it can cover the computer exam and partly computer eyeglasses.
People who are older than 40, often suffer from blurred vision, because their eyes cannot focuse on a computer monitor for a long time. Eyes get quickly tired, because it is rather difficult to look either on a monitor or a keyboard. The cause of CVS within people younger than 40 is presbyopia (the loss of near focusing ability because of the age). Many people wear eyeglasses because of the necessity of correcting their distance vision. If you don’t wear computer glasses, when such necessity arises, you may encounter blurred vision, eyestrain, and headaches. If you lean to the monitor often, you will quickly suffer from a sore neck, sore shoulders and a sore back.
