Computers
and Vision
Often your own workplace
can be a sight for sore eyes! With so many of us spending
a large portion of our day in front of a computer monitor,
taking the proper steps to reduce computer related vision
problems can make the difference between comfortable
vision and strained and tired eyes at the end of your
day.
In spending a great deal of time looking
at a computer screen, our eyes are forced to maintain
a prolonged state of focus.
This can induce such symptoms as tired, red, strained
eyes, or fluctuating vision at all distances, as well
as headaches or dry burning eyes.
We believe in performing specialized tests during an
eye examination to diagnose such problems and can offer
solutions to reduce the problems related to sustained
computer use.
Often, simple visual changes in your work
environment or special lenses designed for computer use
can help to make your workplace more “eye friendly”.
Specialized lenses include
computer adapted lenses. These are lenses where the
top of the lens is used for computer work and the bottom
of the lens is used for reading. These lenses offer
better comfort and allow for better posture at the computer. These
lenses come in lined bifocal style or invisible progressive
lens style. |
