Consultant Clinical Insight
"High-precision ophthalmic diagnostics and proactive screening prevent over 80% of preventable visual impairment. Early detection gives patients the greatest opportunity for spectacle freedom and retinal preservation."

Clinical Background & Evidence Base

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) affects up to 90% of individuals using digital visual displays for over 3 hours daily. The score evaluates blink rate reduction (normal 15–20/min drops to 5–7/min during screen focus), convergence fatigue, dry eye symptoms, and display illumination contrast, calculating an ergonomic burden index.

Clinical Staging Reference

Classification / Stage Clinical Interpretation & Care Pathway
Low Digital Strain (Score 0 – 5) Healthy visual display habits. Continue following the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
Moderate Digital Fatigue (Score 6 – 12) Mild accommodation lag and tear evaporation. Position monitor 20–28 inches away, below eye level; introduce lubricating artificial tears and blue-light anti-reflective lenses.
Significant Computer Vision Syndrome (Score 13 – 20) High asthenopia burden with frequent tension headaches and blurred distance vision. Comprehensive binocular vision testing and ergonomic workplace assessment recommended.
