With the increase in the use of electronic gadgets or as some call it screen time, many children experience a pervasive threat of digital eye strain, commonly called as computer vision syndrome. The problem with virtual classrooms are that students spend more time using computers during school time from home than when they were going to school, so they’re more likely to experience digital eye strain. Increased screen time increases the risk of Myopia and Myopia progression can cause stress, anxiety, loss of social skills and other behavioural issues.
What is Computer Vision Syndrome?
Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition caused by prolonged use of digital devices such as computers, tablets, e-readers and smart phones. Symptoms of CVS include eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, double vision, dry eyes, eye irritation, red eyes, and neck or back pain.
Is Computer Vision Syndrome permanent?
Most symptoms associated with CVS are temporary and do not result in any long-term damage. The symptoms usually reduce or go away a few hours after you stop using the digital screen. However, if the problems leading to consistent eye strain are not resolved or the symptoms are not properly treated, the discomfort will continue. CVS symptoms over long periods of time can worsen existing eye conditions and lead to reduced visual acuity after stopping work on the screen.
