Treating Computer Vision Syndrome

Some of the treatments for Computer Vision Syndrome, or CVS, are cutting the glare, rearranging your desk, giving your eyes a break, and tweaking your settings. Dr. Richard Simon, Ophthalmologist with Baptist Outpatient Services, says you can adjust your monitor, getting your working length from the computer to a point where it is comfortable: "Don't get too close on it, don't get too far away, get your settings right, but the main thing is just take a break."
