- Abstract
Objective: To Study The Incidence Of CVS In Computer Users And To Evaluate The Efficacy Of Tear Substitutes & Role Of Ergonomics In The Management Of CVS. Materials and Method: 100 subjects in age group 10-60 yrs., who have been using computer for minimum of 2hrs/day for at least 5-6 days/week, were chosen. Each subject underwent for Visual Acuity examination, Slit Lamp Examination, CVS Scoring & following tests. (1) Schirmer Test (2) Tear Film Break up Time (Tbut) Results: Out of 76 subjects having CVS score >6, 52 used the computer for 4 - 8 hrs. & 4 used for <4hrs. Thus, more is the exposure time more is the chances of CVS. Conclusion: There was more improvement after 4 weeks and 8 weeks in the group taking lubricants and ergonomics into consideration than lubricants alone.
