Background: Prolonged gadget use may lead to various eye health problems, termed as asthenopia. Continuous use of gadgets may lead Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) which is now a major problem affecting 70 percent of all people. Studies suggest that there might be a relation between eye exercises and improvement in asthenopic symptoms. Method: An experimental study with pre-test post-test design was performed on 60 subjects who were then divided into 3 groups with equal subjects as group A eye exercises; group B as combined eye and neck exercises, group C as control with no exercises. Intervention provided for 8 weeks and measured using CVS-Q before and after 8 weeks. Group A consisted of palming, blinking, sideways viewing, Front and sideways viewing, Rotational viewing, Up and down viewing, preliminary nose tip gazing, Near and distant viewing. Group B was provided neck active range of motion exercises, neck isometrics and core stabilisation exercises and eye exercises. Result: There was total 60 students. Out of 60 students, 20 (32.8%) were male and 40 (65.6%) were female (Fig 1). Mean age was found to be 23.15 years (Table 1) Students were divided into three groups. The Kruskal Wallis test revealed that there was significant difference in treatment group as compared to control group, H=38.57, df= 2, p=0.00 (p<0.05). Median of pre CVSQ score among groups was same, irrespective of group. Post CVS Q median has revealed that there was a significant difference in the CVS Q score in group 1 and 2 while group 3 median of score has been shifted upward. The pairwise comparison of group showed that there was no significant difference between group 1 and group 2, p>0.05 (p=1.00). However, significant difference was seen between group 1 and 3 (p=0.00) and, group 2 and 3 (p=0.00). Conclusion: 8 weeks eye exercise protocol as well as combined eye and neck exercises protocol improved score of computer vision syndrome questionnaire and eye health of students involved in prolonged gadget use more than no treatment group (control). Both the exercises protocol showed similar results in improving score.
