The duration of computer vision syndrome (CVS) symptoms depends on the severity of the condition and lifestyle changes made to alleviate it. Symptoms like eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision usually subside within a few hours after stopping screen use.
If screen habits remain unchanged, symptoms can persist or recur daily. Addressing the underlying causes, such as poor lighting, incorrect screen positioning, or uncorrected vision issues, is crucial for long-term relief.
Following the 20-20-20 rule, adjusting ergonomics, and using blue light filters can help reduce symptoms. For persistent cases, consulting an eye specialist is recommended.
