Abstract
In the beginning of the new millennium, professional engineering cannot be imagined exclusive of the use of computers. Engineers who use computers or some other monitoring display terminals, both in design and various manufacturing phases, have been exposed to the effects of computer vision syndrome. Computer has become almost an indispensable piece of equipment both in the office and at home. This paper defines the computer vision syndrome, describes its genesis and explains related consequences. In the central part of this paper, results are presented of the research conducted in the Republic of Serbia regarding computer users, detected computer vision syndrome symptoms as well as the genuine actuality of computer vision syndrome among computer users. The final part of the paper offers possible solutions for reducing the effects and preventing occurrence of the observed syndrome.
