Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)
It is estimated that over 100 million working Americans suffer from computer eyestrain.
In this day and age nearly everyone spends a lot of their time in front of a computer. If you are focusing on a computer screen for more than two hours each day, you may experience some symptoms of computer vision syndrome. Whether it be for school, work, computer games, the internet or a hobby the computer presents a difficult image for the eyes to focus upon. Since the eye cannot correctly focus on an image comprised of pixels, such as a computer screen, the eye goes to it's resting state of focus which is behind the screen. Symptoms of computer eyestrain include: Headaches, loss of focus, tired/dry eyes, double or blurred vision, neck and shoulder pain.. Utilizing a PRIO tester/Kids PRIO tester, we are able to accurately determine the specifications of your focusing needs for your computer screen. Prescribed glasses or contacts can alleviate symptoms and problems commonly caused by CVS.
