The incidence of Computer Vision Syndrome is as high as 50%-90% among the employees of computer profession. Computers have increased the work efciency, communications and have opened access to information like never before. Despite these contributions to the society, prolonged exposure to Video Display Terminals (VDT's) has been the cause of a visual and ergonomic disorder called "Computer Vision Syndrome" (CVS). Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome are caused by ocular (ocular-surface abnormalities or accommodative spasms) and / or extra ocular (ergonomic) etiologies.

But there is a room to understand the disease from Ayurvedic perspectives and to methodically apply Ayurvedic remedies for the modern ailment. In this clinical study on “Computer Vision Syndrome”, a total number of 55 patients were registered and out of these, 53 patients completed the whole treatment. The general observations and the effect of therapy quoted include the data of 53 patients who have completed the entire course of treatment. Oral administration of Saptamrita Lauha tablets, 500 mg BD/day with unequal quantity of Madhu , Ghrita and Triphala eye drops one drop in each eye, 4 times/day for 30 days has found to be effective in the management of CVS. en_US
