Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)
47
Many of the symptoms of CVS (see Table 1) can be broadly classified as
"asthenopia." Most of these symptoms are also associated with other forms of near work. Neck and/or backaches are listed as a symptom of CVS since the eyes lead the body. Computer workers will often assume awkward postures in order to position their eyes so that they can perform their work - resulting in these musculoskeletal symptoms.
This can be the result of a poorly designed work station, assuming awkward postures due to using spectacles which are improperly designed for the task or due to making accommodations for a particular eye/vision disorder.
