See Clearly

There are a few home remedies you can try to treat your computer vision syndrome. Many patients find that looking at screens in poor lighting can deteriorate their vision over time. Be sure to take breaks frequently when using a computer for excessive periods of time. Try to follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break, and look at something that is 20 feet away.

Avoid Eye Fatigue and Pain

When your eyes get tired, they become hard to keep open. They may also burn, moisten, or dry out, leaving you with headaches and experiencing lower visual acuity. Our optometrist may recommend blue light lenses to help filter the blue light emitted by most computer monitors. Exposure to blue light has been found to disrupt sleep patterns, especially when using electronic devices right before bedtime.

Computer Vision Syndrome and Your Health

Prolonged computer use can have an impact on your health. For example, students may have trouble focusing on their assignments, whereas hard workers may suffer vision problems that prevent them from operating machinery. It could be something as simple as placing your monitor at a different height or making sure that glare does not reflect from the screen. If you are finding that your productivity has been affected negatively due to the symptoms of computer vision syndrome, our eye doctor can teach you the adjustments to make to reduce these symptoms.
