Squinting at computer, tablet, or mobile screens for hours at a time is a normal part of our lives in the 21st century. Unfortunately, eye problems associated with this activity are also on the rise. Even if you have never had eye problems before, you may have noticed computer vision syndrome symptoms after two or more hours of screen time.
Signs include:
- Blurry vision
- Eye strain and discomfort
- Headaches
- Dry, scratchy eyes
- Neck and/or shoulder pain
Even if your symptoms are mild, they can worsen and cause other vision problems if not addressed. Our optometrists can help.
What are Lifestyle Specific Lenses?
Everyday glasses are good for all day wear but they may not help with specific distances or tasks. That's when task specific lenses can be used for computer or work spaces.
There are newer lens designs that target specific environments and work conditions, as well as helping with eye fatigue.
Our offices currently offer 40% off your second pair that can be used for eyewear with lifestyle specific lenses such as a reading or computer pair. Please contact our office for more details about task specific lenses.
