Does computer vision syndrome affect my visual acuity?

Yes: Yes. The tears break up quickly in many patients with computer vision syndrome. This may reflect the lower blink rate and increased tear evaporation. Since the first thing light hits on our eyes is our tears, this can negatively impact your visual acuity.
