Computer Vision Syndrome

Vision is more than 20/20 eyesight. Long hours working on a computer screen requires good eye tracking, eye coordination and sustained visual attention. Visual comfort requires more visual abilities than tested by reading letters on a distance chart. A vision examination must include testing of visual skills that relate to visual performance.
