Long work at the computer can lead to the appearance of computer vision syndrome, said professor, doctor of medical sciences, leading Russian ophthalmic surgeon Tatyana Shilova.

“Computer vision syndrome is not an independent disease, but a collection of symptoms. These include increased fatigue of the organs of vision, difficulty focusing on images and text, discomfort when moving the eyes, a feeling of dryness and “sand”, the appearance of a slight haze, as well as pain in the back, shoulders and neck,” Shilova explained.

In addition, from excessive use of the PC, the user may develop dry eye syndrome.

“Dry eye syndrome is a violation of the lacrimal glands. The lacrimal fluid is not produced enough to moisten the surface of the eye, or its qualitative composition changes. Thus, a person experiences a number of very unpleasant symptoms: dry eyes, or vice versa, profuse lacrimation, redness and irritation, burning, pain, photophobia, ”the interlocutor emphasized.

According to her, in order to reduce eye strain and avoid unpleasant consequences, you need to take breaks for 10-15 minutes every hour of work, as well as do special exercises.

At the same time, if you ignore the symptoms, they can lead to the development of stable myopia, pathological headaches, scoliosis and cervical osteochondrosis.

Previously, she talked about how regular use of a smartphone causes tendovaginitis.
