Computer Vision Relief
Like most people you are probably connected to a digital world almost 24-7. Many people experience computer vision syndrome which is caused by excessive screen time. At View Optometry we will discuss different strategies and lens options to help alleviate digital eyestrain.
New research has shown us that blue light emitting from digital devices can cause eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and potentially increase your risk of some retinal eye diseases such as macular degeneration. At View Optometry we recommend putting a blue light filter on your glasses lenses to prevent excessive blue light exposure.

We often recommend anti-fatigue lenses which are designed to reduce eye strain and discomfort caused by prolonged screen time or close-up work. These lenses typically feature a slight magnification at the bottom, which helps relax the eye muscles when focusing on near objects. This design encourages a more natural head position and reduces the need for constant refocusing.
Benefits of Anti-Fatigue Lenses:
Reduced Eye Strain: They help alleviate symptoms of digital eye strain, such as tiredness, dryness, and discomfort.
Enhanced Comfort: The lenses promote a more comfortable viewing experience during long periods of reading or using digital devices.
Improved Focus: The magnification helps ease the transition between different viewing distances, making it easier to switch between screens and printed materials.
Better Posture: By encouraging a natural head and neck position, these lenses can help reduce associated discomfort and fatigue.
Who Should Use Them?
Office Workers: Those who spend long hours on computers.
Students: Individuals engaged in extensive reading or studying.
Creatives: People involved in activities requiring close-up vision, like artists or designers.
Overall, anti-fatigue lenses can be a great investment for anyone experiencing discomfort from prolonged visual tasks.
