CVS

Have you ever been on your computer for so long that your eyes start to hurt?  Then you might suffer from CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome).  Studies show that between 50 and 90% of people who work in front of a computer all day suffer eye vision problems, or CVS symptoms.  People who look at the screen too much don’t blink as often and fall below the average of 18 blinks per second.  Symptoms of CVS include sore eyes, dry eyes, teary eyes, blurry vision, double vision, light sensitivity, difficulty focusing on images, neck pain, or a headache.  A method to solve this is to follow the 20-20-20 rule.  20 minutes of looking at the screen= 20 seconds of looking 20 feet away.  Or angling your screen so that your eyes don’t catch the glare of other lights. http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/12/health/upwave-computer-eyes/index.html?hpt=he_c1
