Generally, a banker has to directly look at the computer screens for 7-8 hours a day, which amounts to a great stress in the eyes. This naturally deteriorates the health condition of the banker’s eyes.

No medical facility is given to bankers to keep their eyes healthy. We can only get the medical facilities when a surgery is required.
