The invention of computer and advancement in information technology has revolutionized and benefited the society but at the same time has caused symptoms related to its usage such as ocular sprain, irritation, redness, dryness, blurred vision and double vision. This cluster of symptoms is known as computer vision syndrome which is characterized by the visual symptoms which result from interaction with computer display or its environment. Three major mechanisms that lead to computer vision syndrome are extraocular mechanism, accommodative mechanism and ocular surface mechanism. The visual effects of the computer such as brightness, resolution, glare and quality all are known factors that contribute to computer vision syndrome. Prevention is the most important strategy in managing computer vision syndrome. Modification in the ergonomics of the working environment, patient education and proper eye care are crucial in managing computer vision syndrome.
计算机的发明和信息技术的进步给社会带来了变革和益处，但与此同时也引发了与使用计算机相关的症状，如眼部扭伤、刺激感、发红、干涩、视力模糊和复视。这一系列症状被称为计算机视觉综合征，其特征是与计算机显示屏或其环境相互作用产生的视觉症状。导致计算机视觉综合征的三个主要机制是眼外机制、调节机制和眼表机制。计算机的视觉效果，如亮度、分辨率、眩光和质量，都是导致计算机视觉综合征的已知因素。预防是应对计算机视觉综合征最重要的策略。改善工作环境的人体工程学设计、对患者进行教育以及适当的眼部护理对于应对计算机视觉综合征至关重要。
