Most people don’t realize how hard their eyes are working in front of a computer screen and preventive measures may sound obvious but are frequently overlooked or ignored. Adjusting the screen resolution or checking the brightness and contrast can instantly ease the tension on your eyes. Double check the screen settings for your computer and take breaks if you spend long hours in front of the computer as well. The best solution would be adding a blue light filter to your lenses. Blue light is believed to be the most harmful to your retina. A blue light filter adds a layer of defense, reduces eye strain, and can help support long term health. If you have been experiencing blurry vision, dry eyes, eye strain, headaches, neck or back pain, try adjusting the lighting, posture, and the distance in front of your computer screen. If computer vision symptoms persist, call us to set up a consultation and we can do a full diagnosis.

Computer Vision refers to eye problems associated with the prolonged use of computers and electronic devices that use digital screens. Although these issues can be temporary, there are times when the strain from computer vision can affect the eyes to the point of permanently impairing vision. An existing eye condition may worsen as the eyes try to focus and adjust to a computer screen, so precautions should be taken if you spend long hours in front of one. Some people with astigmatism may feel completely normal until they sit in front of a computer, at which point the condition seems to resurface. Just as some people wear glasses for driving at night, there are also glasses specifically designed for use with computers.
