Chapel Hills Vision Clinic Offers Help For Computer Vision
Computers have become a feature of almost every field of endeavor, and this reality has led to widespread vision problems from long hours of looking at computer screens. Nowadays, there are a number of eye care solutions to help with the eyestrain from computer use. At Chapel Hills Vision Clinic in Colorado Spring, we can help you achieve clearer, more comfortable vision for your computer tasks. Here are a few frequently asked questions about computer vision syndrome.
What is Computer Vision Syndrome?
Staring at a computer monitor all day can lead to a number of uncomfortable symptoms. You may experience blurry vision, redness of the eyes, dry eyes, headache, neck strain, and double vision. These problems can affect people of every age, but may be particularly troublesome for older people. Your optometrist can provide you with special eyeglasses that can help to relieve the strain of daily computer screen viewing.
How Can Computer Glasses Help Ease Computer Vision Problems?
Computer eyeglasses that have a blue light filter and anti-glare coating can help to improve vision and reduce eyestrain and fatigue, especially when viewing a screen for long periods of time.
- Single vision computer glasses can provide clear and easy viewing at a comfortable "computer distance"
- Anti-fatigue lenses are one of our best-fitted lenses for both occupational and everyday use; this digital single vision lens allows our eyees not to work as hard throughout the day and avoid digital eye strain. They also have a blue violet light blocker built into the lens.
- Occupational progressive lenses allow for clearer vision for heavy desktop/computer users; focusing on the intermediate (computer) and near (reading) distances
Please ask any one of our doctors or experienced opticians for more information on which lens is best for you.
How Can An Optometrist Help With Computer Vision?
During your eye exam, your optometrist may ask questions about your work style. A visual exam will then be conducted to ensure that you have the right prescription eyeglasses to help you work with greater ease. Small adjustments in your prescription lenses can make a big difference in your comfort and visual clarity when using computers. Your optometrist can even offer a number of tips to protect your vision from blue light in computer screens.
