Computer vision syndrome

Abstract

Technological advances in computing and Internet access enable workers to process more information and be more productive. It also means that workers are spending more time on electronic devices with visual displays such as computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and even watches that contribute to eye strain. The same applies to children, as they spend many hours each day using electronic devices with digital displays to complete school assignments, play video games, and communicate in the Internet [4]. With the increasing use of these electronic devices, computer vision syndrome is becoming a major public health problem.
