Computer Glasses

Computer glasses can make a world of difference in your comfort level while using the computer. Data streams at faster and faster rates each day. From computer screens to handhelds, workstations to digital entertainment devices, the torrent of information continues to pound outward in accelerated shock waves.  You know that your eyes are the gateway to the digital world.

Do you remember when your parents would tell you not to sit too close to the TV?  Did you ever wonder why?  Well, it’s because your eye is working way too hard and very inefficiently at close distances.  Sitting in front of the computer is far worse than TV ever was.  You know it’s true.  You can feel it happening everyday.  Fatigue, dry eye, fuzziness.  Yet you press on because it is what you do.  But, you’re not at your peak performance and you are accelerating the degradation of your vision.

If You Use Computers

There’s a good chance you suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Three-quarters of computer users have CVS and its symptoms include: eyestrain or eye fatigue, dry eyes, burning eyes, light sensitivity, blurred vision, headaches and pain in the shoulders, neck or back.

If you already wear regular glasses or reading glasses, you may be tempted to dismiss the idea of computer glasses. Unfortunately, your regular glasses are not quite right for computer work. Regular lenses do not correct for the intermediate zone of your vision, which is where your computer monitor falls.

Computer glasses come in a variety of multifocal styles that allow you to see clearly in all zones at once. Extra care is taken to maximize the intermediate zone that is 20-26 inches away from your eyes so that you can minimize computer eyestrain.

The first step to getting your new computer glasses is to have an Comprehensive Eye Exam.

The next step is to hand your prescription to a competent licensed optician or optical dispenser. Opticians provide the necessary technical support to help you select the best frame for your vision and facial design.
