Abstract
Background: Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer or other display device for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time. It isn’t one specific problem. Instead, it includes a whole range of eye strain and pain & other symptoms are headaches, blurred vision, neck pain, fatigue, dry eyes, irritated eyes, double vision, vertigo/dizziness, polyopia and difficulty refocusing the eyes. These symptoms can be further aggravated by improper lighting conditions or air moving past the eyes. Research shows that between 50% and 90% of people who work at a computer screen have at least some symptoms. Dry eye is a major symptom that is targeted in the therapy of CVS. It is not a very dangerous issue but can cause serious problems if not get the attention at the time. The goals of Ayurveda treatment for CVS include correcting the vitiation of Vata dosha in body and in the eyes also, relieving the symptoms of dry eyes and correcting the digestive fire and encourage lubrication in the body.
