Description
Amir-Ali Golrokhian-Sani, Maya Morcos, and Chloe Gottlieb offer six practical steps to cut computer vision syndrome during medical school exams. Their 2025 article describes the syndrome as a cluster of eye and vision symptoms tied to screen use. Medical students report heavy screen time, and long exams force them to stare at screens for hours without a break.
The steps include built-in five-minute breaks, a spot to rest the eyes, and sound cues that signal pause times. They also urge teaching on room setup and posture, allowing lubricating eye drops, and designing exams that lower suspicion of cheating. The aim is harm reduction where screens cannot be avoided.
