Computer-Vision Syndrome Incidence

From StatWiki

90% of people who stare at a computer for three or more hours a day suffer from Computer-Vision Syndrome

More than 40% of Americans spend three or more hours a day staring at a computer or hand-held, according to the American Optometric Association.

That puts total incidence of Computer-Vision Syndrom at about 36% (90% * 40%)

"More people are showing up at eye appointments complaining of headaches, fatigue, blurred vision and neck pain—all symptoms of computer-vision syndrome (CVS), which affects some 90% of the people who spent three hours or more at day at a computer, according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Healthy."
