Computer vision syndrome (CVS): the assessment of prevalence and associated risk factors among the students of the American University of Armenia
ConclusionThis study found a high prevalence of CVS in the study population. Following the recommendations on correct sitting position and viewing distance while using computer/VDT devices might reduce the prevalence of CVS in the target population.
