Digital Eye Strain: 'Computer Vision Syndrome', which is also referred to as Digital Eye Strain, describes a group of eye & vision-associated problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader & cell phone use. Eye strain or eye fatigue can also occur from viewing of TV screens. Improper viewing distances can exacerbate these problems. You should have your eyes examined on a regular basis!
