Furthermore, another effect is visual problems. Visual problems from computer patient will meet the doctor with symptom blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), etc. Actually, these problems are not caused by nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, astigmatism and refractive problem, but the effect of these problems are from prolonged computer usage. The study of computer vision syndrome in computer office workers blurred vision can be found up to 23.8% and this study also found that double vision up to 13.7%. Plus, statistic of the American Optometric Association was found blurring vision in 30.48%. Visual problems are caused by fatigue of the eye muscles (ciliary muscle) that control the focus of the image or extraocular muscle that compounds the images from both eyes into a single image (binocular single vision) due to use near vision or reading vision for a long time. Definition of double vision or diplopia by The Merriam Webster dictionary is a disorder of vision in which two images of a single object are seen (as from the unequal action of the eye muscles). And the meaning of blurred vision is a loss of visual acuity and disability to see small details. Which is sometimes related to the inability of the eyes to focus on a computer screen for a significant amount of time. In addition, visibility may be blurred by constantly changing focus on the keyboard and computer screen. How to avoid the visual problem? There are many ways to avoid these symptoms,
The most common cause of brain damage is due to low levels of well-being which can be caused by too much screen time. Healthy levels of well-being vary depending on the person’s age “tending to fall a little in the mid-teenage years, then again at midlife, and finally among the oldest old” (Medical News Today Quote 1). Healthy levels of well-being are highest when the person spends less than an hour a day in front of a screen. Unhealthy levels of well-being on the other hand can cause “the release of dopamine, a chemical that contributes to learning and concentration. As a result, our brains may become desensitized to the effects of normal levels of dopamine, making it hard to concentrate and focus on non-screen-based stimuli” (Medical News Today Quote 2).

Having migraines can be a primary physical symptom to something else. In the same article, Step Away from the Screen: Studies suggest too much technology might actually damage the brain” by Paul Rogers, “Multiple studies have shown… that is, the shrinkage or loss or brain tissue volume — due to Internet or gaming addiction. In 2011, a Chinese study found shrinkage in certain areas of the cerebral cortex of university students who had been classified as Internet addicts (playing online games for an average of 8 to 13 hours a day for at least six days per week. That gray matter atrophy worsened with longer durations of Internet addiction” (1). Do it, of too much internet use, society might face greater physical health problems. By using too much internet can affect several parts of the brain. People know that using too much internet or playing videos games have negative consequences; despite knowing this, they still play video games for long period of time.

What are cataracts? Put simply, this condition is when the lens of the eye clouds over, affecting visual acuity. Allowed to advance without treatment, it can lead to full blindness in the affected eye. Sufferers may experience blurry vision, high sensitivity to glare, poor night vision and double vision in one eye.
Currently, the treatment option chosen was to fully correct any uncorrected refractive error, and then to prescribe a near add1,2. The full distance refraction was prescribed to eliminate her distance blur. At near, an add was prescribed as a supportive lens to relieve the accommodative demand placed on her visual system when undergoing near viewing2. It also decreases the extent of blur on the retina to a degree that it
Individuals are risk for cataracts are those affected with a disease such as diabetes, smoking or alcohol use, or prolonged sunlight exposure. Symptoms are cloudy or blurry vision, fading color, glare, poor night vision, double image in one eye, and frequent eyeglasses prescription changes. Treatment depends upon when cataract is detected. Early detection can be improved with eyeglasses, better lighting, glare sunglasses, or magnifying. If this does not work surgery is used. The lens is replaced with an artificial

Additionally, if there are any aspects of your job or hobbies they may have an impact on your vision, such as prolonged computer use, exposure to chemicals or high-contact sports, it’s important to let your doctor know about those as well.
In the old time, clinical work in hospitals involved doctors listening to patients’ stories of illness before basing their diagnosis on indirect evidence. However, because of the development of new techniques and technologies, including the stethoscope, it allowed doctors to examine all cases more carefully. From this point on, doctors began to focus on the diseases themselves, and their impact on the body, instead of listening to their patients. Additionally, with the help of these new techniques and technologies, doctors gained much power and status because no-one could challenge their stories of illness therefore the patient’s own experience or perception became less important than the doctor’s judgment. As a result, the clinicians' ‘gaze’ of medical perception and experience on the patients become the only "objective truth" for the illness. However, although this "clinical gaze" of clinicians gazing patients helps the doctor narrow down their focus on the pathology, the organ, and the lesion that makes medicine treatment more rational, less theoretical and more practical, it have two effects, which are, first, make the clinicians to exclude structure factors in the treatment and, second, make the clinicians have the absolute authority in defining the illness, that can cause doctors to give out inaccurate treatment to the patients. The rest of my papers will be focused on how these two effects of clinical gaze can create difficulty on the treatment between health care
