Abstract
Visual discomfort (VD) is a condition associated with performing near work tasks. Main contributing factors to VD are convergence and accommodative insufficiencies. Participants completed surveys measuring such components and a survey on academic problems. Results suggest a high prevalence of VD in the population and an impact on academic problems.
