What Is Computer Vision Syndrome?
Prolonged use of digital devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets causes computer Vision Syndrome, or digital eye strain. The condition results from staring at screens for extended periods, leading to a range of uncomfortable symptoms that affect your ability to focus and see clearly.
Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome
If you spend several hours a day in front of a screen, you may be at risk of developing symptoms of digital eye strain. Common signs include:
- Blurred vision after prolonged screen use
- Dry or irritated eyes
- Headaches or eye strain
- Difficulty focusing on near or distant objects
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Sensitivity to light
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional care to prevent further discomfort and protect your vision.
Diagnosis & Treatment Options for Digital Eye Strain in New York
These tests, combined with personalized lifestyle adjustments, will help address the root causes of digital eye strain and keep your vision healthy.
Based on your needs, we offer tailored treatment options, which may include:
Specialized Lenses: Blue light-filtering lenses or anti-reflective coatings can help reduce eyestrain caused by screen glare.
Prescription Glasses: For those with existing vision issues, prescription lenses can correct refractive errors and ease eye strain.
Lifestyle Adjustments for Digital Eye Strain
Simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference in relieving computer vision syndrome. We recommend the following adjustments:
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away.
Adjust Screen Settings: Increase font size and adjust the brightness of your screen to match the lighting in the room.
Blink More Often: Blinking helps moisten your eyes and prevents dryness.
Use Proper Lighting: Ensure your workspace is well-lit to reduce screen glare and avoid excessive contrast.
