  2. Computer vision syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome

    Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time and the eye's muscles being unable to recover from the constant tension required to maintain focus on a close object.

  3. Eye strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_strain

    The experience of eye strain when reading in dim light has given rise to the common misconception that such an activity causes permanent eye damage. [3] When concentrating on a visually intense task, such as continuously focusing on a book or computer monitor, the ciliary muscles and the extraocular muscles are strained. This causes discomfort ...

  4. Accommodative convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_convergence

    However, errors in this relationship can cause problems, such as hyperopic individuals having a tendency for crossed eyes because of the over exertion of their accommodation system. Clinically, accommodative convergence is measured as a ratio of convergence, measured in prism diopters, to accommodation, measured in diopters of near demand.

  5. Vergence-accommodation conflict - Wikipedia

    Both of these mechanisms are crucial in stereoscopic vision. Vergence or independent inward/outward rotation of eyes is engaged to fixate on objects and perceive them as single. Incorrect vergence response can cause double vision. Accommodation is the eye’s focusing mechanism and it is engaged to produce a sharp image on a retina.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_insufficiency

    The symptoms and signs associated with convergence insufficiency are related to prolonged, visually demanding, near-centered tasks. They may include, but are not limited to, diplopia (double vision), asthenopia (eye strain), transient blurred vision, difficulty sustaining near-visual function, abnormal fatigue, headache, and abnormal postural adaptation, among others.

  8. Farsightedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsightedness

    If the brain never learns to see objects in detail, then there is a high chance of one eye becoming dominant. The result is that the brain will block the impulses of the non-dominant eye. In contrast, the child with myopia can see objects close to the eye in detail and does learn at an early age to see objects in detail. [medical citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_vision

    Given reading is a crucial skill to understand one's surrounding, e.g., reading directions in the airport, about 60% of patients mentioned reading difficulty as the reason for their referral to the low vision care, and reading problem is a major source of anxiety for Glaucoma patients with slower reading speed, more errors, and slower ...
