Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), is a term for a collection of symptoms related to eye disorders caused by continuous use of computer-based electronic devices, such as laptops, cellphones or tablets for a long time. Working on a computer causes us to rarely blink. Normal average blinking should be 16 – 20 per minute. When we use a computer it will decrease to 6-8 per minute.

Blinking is very important for eye health. The benefits of blinking include cleaning dirt from the eyes, such as small particles from the air, dried tears and dead cells, bringing nutrients and other substances to the eyes that help keep the eyes healthy.

1. Bad position when using a computer
2. Glare or reflections, blurry images or images that are too dim or too bright
3. Use of glasses that do not suit the user's position within a certain distance from the screen
