American Optometric Association concluded that working at the computer is unnatural for human eyesight and 70-75% of all users who work with the computers have problems with the eyesight. On the basis of Dosha involvement, it is a Vata-pittajanya Vyadhi. Treatment modalities in modern science includes meticulous work environment as a precaution and use of artificial tear or contact lens wetting solutions that are not satisfactory. Ayurveda works through Samprapti Vighatana of disease which includes preventive and therapeutic principles like Kriyakalpa and Chakshushya Dravya.
