Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is the name given to a plethora of eye conditions that are brought about by prolonged utilization of computers, tablets, e-readers, and mobile (smart) phones. The origin of this ailment stems from the fact that our eyes are not built for prolonged periods’ use on visual displays (in analogue, digital, and even virtual formats). The American Optometric Association asserts that CVS develops due to a struggle of the eyes in recovery from an unremitting strain to view an object closely. If left untreated, it can result in discomfort, visual problems, and eventually permanent damage.
