The extent of damage to eyes from computer screens.
Viewing a computer screen is much more stressful on one’s eyes compared to any other daily chore. Using a computer screen requires a high visual demand, from tiny characters on a screen to continuous high framerate changes and the presence of blue light emissions all cause massive strains to the eyes of a user.
Other than these there may be technical issues such as the lack of definition on characters being viewed on the screen, low level of contrast and the additional problem of glares or reflections being present on the viewing screen.
The odd viewing angles and distances that are required may also negatively impact the user in both, the eyes and through various physical strains, this is due to the stress placed by users on their necks and body by maintaining an incorrect body posture to compromise for the vision impairment. The physical strains usually affect the back, neck, shoulder and may even induce painful muscle spasms to certain individuals.
With studies showing that office users remain in front of their computer screens for over 1700 hours a day and close to 7 hours on average daily one can assume this relates to such professions only; However, using a computer screen for even 2 hours without taking a proper break/ having a bad posture can cause a surprising number of problems in a regular human being.
