Abstract
This study aims to understand more about the effects of screen time on the eyes, musculoskeletal problems, and work efficiency in IT professionals. Problems faced by the people and the measures taken to solve them: A questionnaire was designed and distributed among IT professionals. Respondents discussed their issues regarding their eyes, musculoskeletal problems, and efficiency at work. Furthermore, respondents were asked if they and their organizations were taking any measures to deal with the issues due to the excessive effects of screen time. Insights were also drawn on how they can improve the current working system to deal with the impact of screen time. These insights were represented in the form of a word chart. In conclusion, a significant percentage of the population faces screen-related problems, but many people are not taking any measures to deal with them. Organizations and employees alike are advised to take these problems seriously and start implementing their solutions as soon as possible.
