“Nearsightedness is a very common vision condition that affects nearly 30 percent of the South Africa's population. Some evidence supports the theory that nearsightedness is hereditary. There is also growing evidence that nearsightedness may be caused by the stress of too much close vision work. It normally first occurs in school-age children. Because the eye continues to grow during childhood, nearsightedness generally develops before age 20.”

It is also reported that Computer Vision Syndrome or “CVS” affects almost 90% of the 47 million South African's who work on a computer each day. The symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome include:

Headaches
Loss of focus
Burning/tired eyes
Double/blurred vision
Neck and shoulder pains

One of the best ways to prevent the damaging affects of near-point stress and Computer Vision Syndrome is to briefly look away from your computer screen every 10 to 20 minutes. This allows the internal components of your eyes to relax and reduces the stress and strain that can cause vision problems.

The Vision Defense Software provides you with reminder prompts to briefly look away from the screen at specific time intervals that you select. You may choose to display the prompts in any one of the four corners of your screen.

When these prompts occur the software also reminds you to perform certain tasks that help reduce computer vision problems. These reminders include suggestions like blinking frequently to keep your eyes moist (looking at a computer screen reduces blink rates), relaxing your shoulders when typing and taking a break from your computer at least once per hour. You can also customize up to 20 different messages to remind yourself to perform certain activities throughout the day such as lifting your legs off the floor to strengthen your abdominal muscles, or drinking a glass of water every hour. The Vision Defense Software is fully customizable to your needs and desires.
