title: Computer eyestrain.
abstract: Main ocular mechanisms probably underlying eyestrain symptoms in computer users-diminished aqueous tears, extraocular muscle fatigue, color fatigue and decreased amplitude of accommodation induced by monochromatic light--are discussed. With this background, some practical consequences are drawn to avoid or reduce eyestrain.
