What Are Computer Glasses?

Computers and digital screens have become integral for work and everyday enjoyment in the modern world. While these digital devices bring about many great things, they also can lead to eye strain and dryness. One such issue caused by excessive computer screen use is computer vision syndrome. Fortunately, A B Vision Jamaica in Kingston and Linstead, Jamaica, offer computer glasses to help you see clearly and comfortably when using a computer. Learn more about computer glasses and how they can help you below.

Understanding the Importance of Computer Glasses

Computer vision syndrome is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem in today’s modern society. Excessive digital screen use without taking breaks can lead to eye strain, fatigue, and dryness. These symptoms often make working at a computer or using a digital device for entertainment painful and challenging. Luckily, specialized glasses for computer use exist.

Computer glasses are eyeglasses designed to make using your computer easier. Text on computer screens may be smaller than you are used to, and the distance between you and the computer is often further than if you were reading a book. Computer glasses enable you to see text on your computer while reducing eye strain and dryness caused by digital screen usage. Our ophthalmologist can prescribe these eyeglasses after an eye exam. We can also adjust your lenses to ensure visual clarity and comfort.

Lifestyle Adjustments for Comfortable Computer Use

Our ophthalmologist can also recommend lifestyle and ergonomic adjustments to make computer use more comfortable. In addition to computer glasses, you should try to reduce the amount of glare from your screen. Increasing your contrast and turning down the brightness can help prevent eye strain and fatigue. Following the 20-20-20 rule also helps reduce your risk of developing computer vision syndrome. Look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds whenever you use a computer for 20 minutes. You should also increase the font size if you have difficulty reading text on your computer.
