Sister Lofton,
Thank you for this one because this is something that I have not paid any attention to: Furthermore, since the advent of personal computers 30 years ago, a condition known as computer vision syndrome has surfaced. One of the most significant problems contributing to CVS is the reduction in a patient’s blink rate.12,13 Studies show that individuals blink approximately 60 percent less when using a computer.14 This decrease in blink rate may be a result of serious concentration on the task at hand, or a relatively limited range of eye movement. Consequently, the patient’s tear film is replenished less frequently and evaporates more quickly, causing him ocular discomfort.
