Anyone who spends two hours or more continuously in a day in front of a computer screen is prone to CVS. Human vision system is not designed for long hours of computer viewing.
CVS symptoms range from neck aches and headaches to dry, irritated eyes and blurred or double vision.
The impact of CVS is worse for those who use PDA screen like Blackberries and iPhone.
Thus, following are a few simple measures to help those who are tethered to iPhones and Blackberries see a little easier :
1. Sharpen the image of the PDA screen with antiglare films or increase the font.
2. Supplement your diet with Omega 3's in flaxseed and fish oil to help lubricate the eyes for long term. Recommended dosage 1000 mgs/day.
3. Go for eyes test. Doctors will be able to prescribe suitable eyewear with special computer lenses to reduce eyestrain.
4. Follow the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes take a break and with each eye look at something about 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds.
5. Proper lighting.
6. Remember to blink. Blinking helps rewet the eyes and prevent dryness/irritation.
7. Clean your screen.
