Background: Computers and other visual display devices have become essential in the present era and have led to a rise in computer-related health problems. Using computers in homes, universities and other institutions has increased output greatly but has also led to an increased risk of developing Computer vision syndrome (CVS). Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with computer vision syndrome among undergraduates. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among153 respondents who were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. A pretested, structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. SPSS version 23 was used to analyze the data. A Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between CVS and associated risk factors at a P-value of <0.05. Results: The mean age of respondents was 22.4 ± 3.4 years. The prevalence of CVS in this study was 83 (54.3%). The common symptoms experienced among the respondents were headache (51, 61.4%), eye strain (48, 57.8%) and blurred vision (42, 50.6%). The risk factors significantly associated with CVS in this study were duration of computer use, hours of computer use per day, level of a computer screen and taking breaks during computer use. Conclusion: About half of the students in this study had at least one symptom of CVS.

BACKGROUND Prolonged time of computer use increased the prevalence of ocular problems including eyestrain, tired eyes, irritation, redness, blurred vision, and double vision, collectively referred to as computer vision syndrome. Approximately 70 percent of computer users have vision-related problems. To design the effective screen intervention for preventing or improving computer vision syndrome, we must understand the effective interfaces of computer-based intervention (CBI). OBJECTIVE In this study, we aim to explore the interface elements of computer-based intervention for computer vision syndrome to set design guidelines based on pros/cons of each interface element. METHODS We conducted iterative user study to achieve our research goal. First, we conducted workshop to evaluate overall interface elements that are included in the previous systems for computer vision syndrome (N=7). Second, we designed and deployed our prototype LiquidEye with the multiple interface options to the users in the wild (N=11). Participants used LiquidEye for 14 days and during these period, we collected participants’ daily log (N=680). Also, we conducted pre and post survey and post-hoc interviews to explore how each interface element affects system acceptability. RESULTS We have collected 19 interface elements for designing intervention system for CVS from the workshop, then, deployed our first prototype LiquidEye. After deployment of LiquidEye, we conducted multiple regression analysis with the user data log to analyze significant elements affecting user participation of the LiquidEye. The significant elements include instruction page of eye rest strategy (P<.05), goal setting of resting period (P<.01), compliment page after user complete the resting (P<.0.001), middle-size popup window(P<.05), and symptom-like visual affect that alarms eye resting time (P<.0.005). CONCLUSIONS We suggest design implications to consider when designing CBI for computer vision syndrome. The sophisticated design of the customizing interface can make it possible for users to use the system more interactively which results in higher engagement and management of eye condition. There are important technical challenges still to address, but given the fact that this study has been able to sort out various factors related to computer-based intervention, it is expected to contribute greatly to the research of various CBI designs in the future.

Computer Vision Syndrome is the new nomenclature to the visual, ocular, and systemic symptoms arising due to the long time and improper working on the computer. Computer Vision Syndrome is a repetitive strain disorder as defined by the American Optometric. With progressive increase in the usage of computers, the term Repeated Stress Injury has found a place in contemporary medical science. The ocular complaints experienced by computer users typically include eyestrain, eye fatigue, burning sensations, irritation, redness, blurred vision, and dry eyes, among others. This group of symptoms is called Asthenopia. The incidence of Computer Vision Syndrome is as high as 50% to 90% among the employees of computer occupation. The causes for the inefficiencies and the visual symptoms are a combination of individual visual problems and poor office ergonomics. Material & Methods: In this clinical study on CVS, 60 patients were registered from Shalakya tantra OPD, and all of them completed the treatment. In Group A, 30 patients were prescribed Abhijeet Taila for Pratimarsha Nasya and in Group B, 30 patients were prescribed Haritaki Modak tablets internally and Abhijeet Taila for Pratimarsha Nasya. Results: In total, 20% and 33.33% patients got completely cured in Group A and B respectively. Discussion: Both the drugs were effective in managing the condition, but it was observed they were more effective when given together. Multi-centric studies with larger sample size on the same drugs should be carried out to evaluate the effect of the drugs and, also so that the observations can be noted well and can be better suggested.

Background. Globally, computer vision syndrome is the most common eye problem which is associated with prolonged exposure to a computer. It has a great socioeconomic impact on the users due to its effect on job performance. Recently, many people in the world, including our country Ethiopia, especially bank workers, are spending most of their time in front of a computer screen to facilitate their work. Since it is assumed that knowledge is pertinent to prevent computer vision syndrome, this study was aimed at assessing the understanding of bank workers towards computer vision syndrome. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 248 bank workers. The study participants were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from the bank workers. The data was entered and analyzed by SPSS version 21 software. Results. A total of 248 bank workers completed the questionnaire fully, which was a response rate of 93.5% (n=234). Among them, 155 (66.20%) were males and the majority of the respondents were in the age group of 20-39 years (223, 95.3%). The study revealed that from 234 respondents, 211 (90.20%) were aware of computer vision syndrome, while 26.9% of them had a good knowledge about the disorder. Majority of the respondents (40, 17.1%) cited mass media as a source of information. Conclusion. Even though the majority of computer-using bank workers heard of computer vision syndrome, it was recognized that only a small portion of the participants had good knowledge.

In the present era, the full computerization of a country is necessary for the progress. The present era can be defined as “Computer Age”. It has seems that the work at the computer is very intensive & most tiring therefore countries like Germany has included computer operational work in the list of the 40 most harmful trades for the health & restricted work at the computer should not exceed 50% of the working time. In the developing countries like India where the remuneration for the work is far from satisfactory & the young generation is aspiring for more material gains which necessitate them to work overtime or have part-time jobs in addition to their legitimate work. This situation adds up to the works with the computer which badly affects their health. Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is the complex of eye and vision problems related to near work which are experienced during or related to computer use. CVS is characterized by visual symptoms which result from interaction with a computer display or its environment. In most cases, symptoms occur because the visual demands of the task exceed the visual abilities of the individual to comfortably perform the task. In CVS following Signs & Symptoms occurs.they are Presence of excessive debris & mucous strands in the tear film., Reduced or absence of marginal tear strip.Lusterless ocular surface - xerosis.,Lid Dry & Rough touch. And Symptoms are Itching, Burning sensation, Blurred vision, Dryness of eyes, Redness of eyes, Pricking Pain. , Foreign body Sensation, Difficulty in opening & closing the lids.For the study, we have taken Triphala Ghrita Tarpan for 7 days in three consecutive months for 30 patients in treated group and in controlled group eye exercises given like palming, eye movements for 7days in three consecutive months for 30 patients.The results are very much satisfactory in the treated group as compared to the controlled group.The details will be given in detail in full research paper.

Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a set of visual, ocular, and musculoskeletal symptoms that result from long-term computer use. These symptoms include eyestrain, dry eyes, burning, pain, redness, blurred vision, etc, which increase with the duration of computer use. Currently, with the closure of schools and universities due to the continued COVID19 pandemic many universities have taken the process of online education courses and the use of mobile phones, tablets، computer monitors and e-readers is increasing day by day. CVS not only reduces study and learning quality and productivity of the students, but it also has a high economic burden by increasing musculoskeletal injuries and ophthalmologist visits due to visual and ocular symptoms. With the expansion of online education programs, it is necessary for students to be aware of these complications, as well as to teach them appropriate strategies to control and prevent these harmful effects of computers.
