Dr. Bhavya Reddy, Consultant - Ophthalmology at Aster Whitefield Hospital, talks about Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a condition caused by prolonged screen usage. Symptoms include dry eyes, eye strain, fatigue, headache, blurred vision, watering eyes, and even neck and shoulder pain.

Dr. Bhavya offers several tips to reduce CVS symptoms:

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Take a short break every 20 minutes to look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Reposition your monitor: Tilt the top 20 degrees away, keep it an arm's length distance, and position it 4-5 inches below eye level.
Maintain good posture: Sit with relaxed shoulders and avoid slouching.
Use lubricating eye drops frequently.
Visit an ophthalmologist for a proper eye exam and glass prescription.

If you face any of the symptoms, consult our experts in the Department of Ophthalmology at Aster Whitefield Hospital.
