Dry Eye And Computer Vision Syndrome Management
What Is Dry eye management
Dry eye is a condition where the eyes don’t have enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing discomfort & symptoms like burning, itching, and a gritty sensation in the eyes.
Types Of Dry eye management
- Evaporative Dry Eye: Caused by insufficient lipid (oil) layer in tears, often due to meibomian gland dysfunction.
- Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye: Caused by decreased tear production or imbalances in the composition of the aqueous (watery) component of tears.
- Mixed Dry Eye: Combination of aqueous tear deficiency and evaporative dry eye.
Common Causes of Dry Eye
- Age: Dry eye becomes more prevalent with age, as tear production tends to decrease.
- Environmental Factors: Dry or windy climates, air conditioning, and prolonged exposure to digital screens can contribute to dry eye symptoms.
- Medical Conditions: Certain conditions, such as autoimmune diseases (e.g., Sjögren’s syndrome), diabetes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal changes, can lead to dry eye.
- Medications: Some medications, including antihistamines, antidepressants, and certain blood pressure medications, can cause or exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
- Lifestyle Factors: Factors like smoking, inadequate hydration, and prolonged contact lens wear can contribute to dry eye.

Computer Vision Syndrome
Introduction:
In today’s digital age, many people spend prolonged period of time in front of screens, which can in turn lead to a condition known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This condition can cause discomfort and visual problems. However, with proper understanding and proactive measures, you can alleviate all the related symptoms and promote healthier eyes
What is Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)?
Computer Vision Syndrome, also known as Digital Eye Strain, refers to a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, or smartphone use. It is characterized by a range of symptoms that can affect your visual comfort and overall well-being.
Symptoms

Eyestrain & fatigue

Blurred or double vision

Dry or watery eyes

Neck & shoulder pain

Sensitivity to light

Difficulty focusing

Headaches/ eyeaches
Causes and Risk Factors:
Prolonged Screen Time: Spending extended periods in front of digital screens without breaks or proper eye rest contributes to CVS.
Screen Glare and Lighting: Poor lighting conditions, glare from screens, & reflections can strain eyes & worsen CVS symptoms
Incorrect Viewing Distance: Sitting too close or too far from the screen can lead to eye strain and discomfort.
Improper Posture: Maintaining an incorrect posture while using digital devices can cause strain on the eyes, neck, and shoulders.
Prevention and Self-Care Strategies:
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Take a 20-second break every 20 minutes, focusing on an object at least 20 feet away to reduce eye fatigue.
Adjust Screen Position: Position your computer screen at eye level, about 20 inches away from your eyes, to promote comfortable viewing.
Optimize Lighting: Ensure appropriate ambient lighting, avoid glare by adjusting screen brightness, and use curtains or blinds to minimize outside light interference.
Blink Frequently: Make a conscious effort to blink regularly to keep your eyes moist and prevent dryness.
Ergonomic Setup: Maintain good posture, use an ergonomic chair, and position your keyboard and mouse at a comfortable height to reduce strain on your neck, shoulders, and back.
Computer Glasses: Consider getting specialized computer glasses with anti-reflective coating to reduce eye strain and filter blue light.
