Computer Related Considerations

With the enormous advantages associated with increasing computer use in modern society, we have also seen the need for special visual ergonomic and optical considerations. Computer use itself is a relatively visually demanding task. For example, the same text that is written on a piece of paper is usually more difficult to read when it is on a computer screen. Individuals with mild refractive errors may be without symptoms when reading from printed material but have significant symptoms if not corrected by eyeglasses when using their computer.

Computer related oculo-visual symptoms have been collectively termed Computer Vision Syndrome. These symptoms can include: eyestrain and fatigue, headaches, burning, dry and irritated eyes, blurring of the screen, distance blur after working on the computer, headaches, and intermitent double vision. Neck and backaches can also be an associated symptom. Studies show that 50-90% of computer users may have oculo-visual symptoms.
