Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer vision syndrome

Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a complex of eye and vision problems experienced during or related to computer use. Ocular symptoms may include asthenopia, accommodative and vergence difficulties and dry eye. CVS occurs in up to 90% of computer workers.

If you’re experiencing computer vision issues, its quite possible you don’t have the proper lenses required for the task. If you spend 5 or more hours a day at the computer, or 2 or more hours of intense, staring at the screen you may need lenses specifically designed for such intense computer work – F.E.
Computer Lenses, designed specifically for intense computer work are available at Fine Eyewear. Fine Eyewear & Eyecare is a full service eye care facility specializing  high quality lenses.  Our eye care facility is staffed by eye doctors who care about your computer vision requirements.  We’re located in the Heb shopping center at Parmer and 1431, located at the three corners of Cedar Park, Austin and Round Rock, TX and a short drive from Georgetown, TX.

Inexpensive Reading Glasses Leave Wearers With Blurred Vision

The UK’s Daily Mail (10/28, Poulter) reports that inexpensive reading glasses that can be purchased in supermarkets “may leave wearers with eye strain headaches, or even blurred or double vision.”

It is always best for people who need reading glasses to undergo an eye examination to get the right prescription and to check eye health.

Note: another common problem, in many cases, each eye has a different prescription, but drug store lenses always have the same prescription for both eyes. These cheap glasses do not correct for astigmatism either. They also do not have anti-glare properties – glare can further increase strain on the eye. Anti-glare treatment also allows more light to enter the lens, allowing you to see better in low light situations.  Not to mention, drug store glasses simply are not very becoming!  – F.E.

Computer Vision Syndrome

Nearly One-Third Of Patients May Suffer From Digital Device-Related Vision Problems

The Orange County Register (10/26, Haas) reported, “Smartphones and similar devices might cause vision concerns,” Dr. Roger Phelps, spokesman for VSP Vision Care, explained. In fact, “according to recent research with VSP eye doctors, 33 percent” of respondents “reported that nearly one-third or more of their patients suffer from digital device-related vision problems. The most common include eye strain (82 percent), dry or irritated eyes (74 percent), fatigue (70 percent) and headaches (61 percent).” Dr. Phelps recommended that people using such devices take frequent breaks, get computer vision glasses, and undergo regular eye examinations.
