Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as Digital Eye Strain, refers to a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, smartphone, tablet, or digital screen use.
It arises due to continuous focusing, poor lighting, glare, improper viewing distance, and reduced blink rate, leading to ocular fatigue, dryness, and visual discomfort.

Symptoms include eye strain, blurred vision, dryness, irritation, redness, headache, neck and shoulder pain, and sometimes difficulty refocusing.
Prolonged screen exposure causes the ciliary muscles and tear film to become strained, while improper ergonomics contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort.

Risk factors include uninterrupted screen time, poor posture, improper screen brightness, underlying refractive errors, and inadequate blinking.
If left unaddressed, it can lead to chronic eye fatigue, persistent headaches, and visual inefficiency, especially in students and professionals working long hours on screens.

Homoeopathy approaches Computer Vision Syndrome as a functional disturbance due to eye muscle fatigue, nervous strain, and reduced ocular lubrication.
The aim is to reduce eye strain, restore ocular tone, and improve general vitality, addressing both physical and mental fatigue that accompany digital overuse.

Remedies are chosen according to characteristic eye symptoms, associated headaches, mental strain, and constitutional tendencies.
Along with the remedy, adopting proper screen ergonomics, frequent breaks (20-20-20 rule), and eye relaxation exercises are essential.

Homoeopathy helps not only to soothe and strengthen the eyes, but also to improve concentration, sleep quality, and nervous balance, all of which are affected by excessive digital exposure.
