Dangers of Your Desk Job

Eye strain from staring at a screen, otherwise known as computer vision syndrome (CVS), may affect up to 90 percent of office workers, according to research. CVS doesn’t pose a permanent threat to the eyes, but it can cause discomfort like strain, redness, dryness, blurriness or a burning sensation in the eyes. It can also cause back or neck pain. However, some simple steps like sitting with good posture, having good lighting and blinking regularly can help reduce the effects of staring at a monitor all day.
