RECOMMENDATIONS
Given the overwhelming symptoms experienced by
computer users, adequate education about CVS and its
prevention amongst people at risk is highly
recommended. In addition, special attention should be
given to the young population including children and
students in schools, colleges and universities. Training
institutions should develop baseline databases and
learning materials, that is, mainstream CVS in their
curricula. Eye care practitioners on the other hand
should endeavour to probe patients who attend clinics
during consultations about the history of computer use
and spend time to discuss with the patients about CVS.
In order to minimise the risk factors for CVS, national
policies should be developed and applied to regularly
assess risks at work stations and develop ergonomic
guidelines
