Do you get headaches or eyestrain from staring at your computer monitor? At the end of a long day in front of your computer screen, is it difficult to focus on distant objects? Do you sometimes find your eyes feel tired or experience eye twitching? You may be suffering from computer vision syndrome (CVS).
