Worker Productivity and Computer Vision Syndrome
Employment health services is a vital instrument in helping companies
avoid lower productivity and profit loss related to Computer vision syndrome
(CVS). The most common health complaints amongst computer workers are vision
related. Healthy vision is critical to successfully completing virtually every
task that workers perform. It does not require revolutionary thinking to
realize that company profits can be increased by providing vision care benefits
as a means to boost worker productivity and reduce worker disability claims.
Symptoms of Computer Vision
Syndrome
There are no studies or any current evidence that computer vision
syndrome causes long-term damage to the eyes. However, it is documented that regular
computer, tablet, and smart phone use can be the source of significant
eyestrain and discomfort. Workers who suffer with computer vision syndrome may
experience some or all of these symptoms:
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Dry, red eyes
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Back pain
If these symptoms go untreated, they will definitely have a negative
effect on worker performance.
