NEW DELHI: Laptops, tablets, smartphones, and e-readers - these digital devices have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Most of our jobs also demand long hours of work on the computer. Additionally, with the advent of social networking sites, the need to stay connected has become imperative.
As per a recent study conducted by the Bank of America, a troubling trend has been witnessed worldwide, where people turn on their cell phones from the moment they are up in the morning and continue their tryst with digital screens till the time they are off to bed.
However, the increased interaction with digital screens has resulted in Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a condition that damages the eyesight and leads to vision-related problems. Some of the symptoms of this disorder are blurred vision, tired eyes, headaches, neck pain and dry eyes.
