Researchers from Sweden and other countries have studied the symptoms of long-term use of computers, and the results show that when the eyes are fatigued, the tension in focused muscles decreases, at this time, the nerve impulse sent to the neck and shoulder is also affected, so it can cause pain in the corresponding part. To focus on the eyes, you need to coordinate the muscles and nerves of the eyes, neck, and shoulders. Studies show that muscle tension decreases when the eyes focus for a long time, which affects the areas of the cerebral cortex that regulate muscle movement and reduces the nerve excitation. According to the results of the study, we can confirm that the fatigue caused by prolonged eye focus causes the control disorder of the nerves on the neck and shoulder muscles, resulting in increased muscle tension. When such tension cannot be mitigated for a long time, chronic pain occurs in the corresponding area. The head of the study noted that eye symptoms can cause or aggravate neck and shoulder pain, which can better explain common discomfort symptoms of computer users and the associations between these symptoms, it helps to take measures to avoid symptoms. Whether tension in the neck and shoulders affects the focus of the eyes is still being studied.
