CVS symptoms can include eye strain, headaches, loss of focus, burning eyes, double vision, blurred vision, neck and shoulder pain, and much more.

A custom pair of computer eyeglasses may also alleviate your symptoms by helping you see better at precisely the right distance range of your computer monitor.
