Eyewear For The Computer Workspace

Let us create eyewear that fits your workspace and your needs. Spending long hours on digital devices can cause digital eye strain—symptoms like headaches, blurry vision, and neck pain. The American Optometric Association reports that most people spend about seven hours a day in front of a screen. Computer lenses can make a big difference by improving your focus and reducing blue light exposure.

Reduce Digital Eye Strain

Do your eyes feel tired after staring at a computer all day? Maybe you get headaches or have trouble focusing on things far away. You’re not alone, digital eye strain affects many people who spend hours on screens. Our opticians are here to help you learn how computer lenses can make a big difference in your daily comfort.

Computer Lenses

According to the American Optometric Association, the average American worker spends about seven hours a day using a computer—whether in the office or at home. It’s no surprise that digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, has become increasingly common. This condition results from extended screen use and exposure to blue light.

Common symptoms include:

• Blurry vision

• Tired or sore eyes

• Headaches

• Neck and shoulder discomfort

• Eye strain or squinting

• Fatigue when driving, playing sports, or focusing on distant objects

Specialized computer lenses can supplement your primary eyewear to help reduce these symptoms. Designed to enhance vision at near and intermediate distances, these lenses can make screen use more comfortable and protect your eyes from blue light exposure caused by computers, tablets, e-readers, and smartphones.

Tips To Reduce Digital Eye Strain

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and focus on something 20 feet away.

• Adjust your monitor: Position your screen 20–24 inches from your eyes, with the center about 10–15 degrees below eye level.

• Maintain good posture: Sit upright with proper back support when using a computer.

• Upgrade your setup: Use an LCD monitor with an anti-glare surface when possible.

• Control your lighting: Reduce glare and adjust screen brightness, text size, contrast, and color temperature for optimal comfort.

If you’re experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain, ask our opticians about computer lenses and blue light protection during your next visit.
