Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a programmer, and I use the computer for 12 hours every day. My eyes start hurting after 30 minutes of staring at the computer. I do not have any vision issues, apart from the pain that I feel. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Prolonged working on laptop, TV, mobile, or even studying, can cause computer vision syndrome. Computer vision syndrome is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for uninterrupted periods of time. Somesymptoms of CVS include Headaches, Blurred vision, neck pain, redness in the eyes, eye strain, Dry eyes, watery eyes. These symptoms can be further aggravated by improper lighting conditions. The measures to reduce this include work under proper light, blink a lot, cold compresses, use good lubricating eyedrop. I hope this will help you.
