Viewing a computer or digital screen often makes the eyes work harder. As a result, the unique characteristics and high visual demands of computer and digital screen viewing make many individuals susceptible to the development of vision-related symptoms. Uncorrected vision problems can increase the severity of computer vision syndrome (CVS) or digital eyestrain symptoms. ​

​The most common symptoms associated with CVS or digital eyestrain are:

• Eyestrain.
• Headaches.
• Blurred vision.
• Dry eyes.
• Neck and shoulder pain.

These symptoms may be caused by:

• Poor lighting.
• Glare on a digital screen.
• Improper viewing distances.
• Poor seating posture.
• Uncorrected vision problems.
• A combination of these factors.
