Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) 電腦視覺綜合症
According to the American Optometry Association 1995, CVS is defined as ‘‘the complex of eye and vision problems related to near work which are experienced during or related to computer use’’.
CVS symptoms
15
• Dry eyes
• Red eyes
• Burning
• Tearing
• Itching
Eye-related
• Headaches
• Eyestain
• Double vision
• Blurry vision
Vision-related • Neck
• Back
• Shoulder
• Wrist
• Arm
Posture-related
Long-term effects:
1. Increase myopia
2. Dry-eye syndrome
3. Visual functional impair
4. Musculoskeletal injuries
5. ……
64–90% predominant visual-complaint
Computer screen
Computer room
Human eyes
Computer user
Computer task
Computer screen distance at least 20 inches away
Viewing angle of computer around 15 lower than
the horizontal level
The 20/20/20 rule
Screen lighting and room lighting / condition
Computer users should have a good sitting position
Corrective lenses
16
Management of CVS
• Parents
• Teachers
• Professionals
• Hardware
Facilities, e.g. lighting, glare or computer setting
Electronic devices quality and quantity….
17
Kid
s
• Lower self-awareness and self-management capabilities
• Not understand discomfort or other symptoms and lack an ability to report
• Lack an idea of proper viewing distance
• Weak in time control
Protective factors
• Outdoor activities
independent from near work and parent myopia
involve light-stimulated release of dopamine (多巴胺) from the retina
• Oral supplementation
Essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 may increase the tear film lipid layer and reduce tear evaporation
18
Protective factors
• Herbal medicine
massage or eyeball exercise
19
Conclusion
• Role of kindergarten teachers in vision screening
• Professional follow-up (critical period – before age 8)
• Application of information technology in preschools
Administrators – hardware, teacher & parent education
Teachers – time control, posture….
