Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as digital eye strain, is a growing concern in today’s technology-driven world. It occurs due to prolonged use of computers, smartphones, tablets, and other digital screens, causing discomfort and vision-related problems. Common symptoms include eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, burning sensations, neck or shoulder pain, and difficulty focusing. This condition is not limited to adults—children and teenagers are increasingly affected due to extended online learning and recreational screen time. Without proper management, CVS can significantly impact work productivity, learning efficiency, and overall eye comfort.

At Nethraa Eye Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and managing Computer Vision Syndrome with a combination of advanced assessments and personalized treatment plans. Led by Dr. Srishti Sohni, our approach includes evaluating visual function, screen usage habits, and underlying eye health issues. Treatment may involve prescribing computer-specific glasses with anti-reflective coatings, recommending optimal screen positioning, adjusting lighting conditions, and incorporating the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. For patients experiencing dryness, we offer targeted therapies for dry eye disease, including lubricating eye drops, tear film stabilization treatments, and lifestyle modifications.

Our goal is not only to relieve existing symptoms but also to prevent long-term vision problems caused by excessive screen exposure. We educate patients on ergonomic practices, healthy blinking habits, and regular eye breaks to maintain optimal visual health in the digital age. At Nethraa Eye Hospital, we believe that technology should enhance life—not harm your eyes—and we are committed to ensuring that your vision remains comfortable, clear, and protected, no matter how digitally connected your lifestyle may be.
