Computer Vision Syndrome
Computer Vision Syndrome is now one of the most common vision problems in America. Blurred vision, headaches, focusing difficulties, burning eyes, red eyes, and neck pain are just a few of the common symptoms. Put simply, the human eye has difficulty focusing on the pixels of a computer screen. Your eye doesn’t necessarily know where to focus. This causes it to constantly strain and work to maintain a clear image. There’s no doubt that computers are a way of life. So here are a few tips to help ease the pain. 1. Monitor Position: Repositioning your monitor is an easy and effective way to avoid awkward head or eye movements. It should be squarely in front of you at a distance of 18 to 28 inches, with the top of the monitor (not the screen) level with your eyes. You may also have to adjust the angle of your monitor to allow your eyes to remain in a natural position (straight ahead and slightly down). The ideal viewing angle is 10 to 20 degrees below your eye level.
