No merge. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 16:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed merger of Computer vision syndrome which has been tagged for over a year as lacking any sources to verify. Things not quite as bad as Talk:Computer vision syndrome suggests as there are 17 sources to be found at PubMed (ie not just "in books"). However it is clear on performing PubMed search for "Eye strain" (96 hits) that same computer-use senario is being largely described (or at least aspects of computer office usage).

This short article already has brief mention of computer screens as a cause and so a slight expansion is all that is required in merging the topics (PS WP:MEDMOS requires naming the condition per technical name for the condition and using redirects for significant lay terms).

@Doc James: I have kept your reversion of 41.136.119.1's mess ( e[[eye|ye]] ), but I have gone back to my change about blurred images, to explain the reason for the ciliary muscle tightening in this case; or please discuss. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:29, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure "vain" needed. Have adjusted a bit. Let me know what you think. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:48, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
