ABSTRACT:
Computer vision syndrome is the combination of eye and vision problems associated with the use of computers. Computer Vision Syndrome may have a significant impact not only on visual comfort but also occupational productivity. Common computer vision syndrome manifestations include eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, and neck or shoulder pain. Pre-experimental research was done to assess the effectiveness of ocular exercises on computer vision syndrome. Purposive sampling technique was followed to select 30 staff from the salvation Army Catherine Booth College of nursing. Visual rating scale was used to assess symptoms of computer vision syndrome. Ocular exercises were provided as 2 sessions, each session for 15-20 minutes per day for 7 days. The study revealed that there was significant difference between pre- and post- test level of symptoms (t = 2.20 at p< 0.05) significance. Thus, ocular exercise is found to be an effective non pharmacological therapy in reducing symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.
