Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer vision syndrome or CVS is characterized by tired and sore eyes, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and general body fatigue. It is one of the most common workplace complaints and can affect anyone who works on a computer or digital device.

Did you know that we blink 42% less when looking at a screen? Coupled with dry room conditions, this lack of blinking can cause dry, burning, red or itchy eyes.

Screen viewing is a unique visual demand. Even those who wear glasses or contact lenses to see clearly at distance or for reading may not be wearing the correct in-between prescription for computers. The best solution to prevent CVS is wearing custom prescribed computer glasses. These can range from specialized progressive lenses to single vision lenses used specifically for the computer or any digital device.
