Long gone are the days when we use to write using a pen-paper. With rapid digitalization, technology has taken over our lives. Many young adults are sitting in cubicles staring at their computer screens all day, draining and straining their eyes. Kids spend hours on their tablets and smartphones, in inadequate lighting conditions and incorrect postures. Unlike a book or piece of paper, the screens add contrast, flicker and glare, thus taking the eyes more effort to focus. Research indicates that 50-90% of people who spend a significant amount of their time in front of computer screens show at least some symptoms of the Computer Vision Syndrome.
