Effects Of Optimized Blinking Training on Visual Function and Tear Film Parameters in Individuals With CVS

Individuals will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group (group A) receiving OBT with routine rehabilitation CVS management 20-20-20 rule, blue light-blocking glasses, and polyvinyl alcohol eye drops or a control group (group B) receiving only routine rehabilitation, including the 20-20-20 rule, blue light-blocking glasses, and polyvinyl alcohol eye drops. OBT consisted of structured blinking exercises performed thrice daily for three months. Objective outcomes, including tear film parameters and visual function using subjective Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q) shall be evaluated. The collected data will be analysed by using SPSS."

• Presented with eye complaints such as eye fatigue, burning, irritation, redness, and blurred vision due to long-term computer or digital screen use.
• Symptoms worsened during exposure to digital screen light.

Exclusion criteria

• Use of medications that might influence tear production or ocular surface status (e.g., antihistamines, antidepressants).
