It’s a fact that most people today spend a good deal of time staring at computer screens. Even those who have perfect vision will find that, over time, they begin to experience eye strain, red eyes, and blurred vision. This issue has become so widespread that it is now considered a medical condition known as computer vision syndrome or CVS. CVS can lead to younger people experiencing symptoms that are normally associated with age-related presbyopia, or difficulty focusing.
Unfortunately, most people don’t have the option of simply walking away from their computers. They use them for work, for recreation, and for keeping in touch with their families and friends, and these activities are important. That doesn’t mean there’s no way to prevent the development of CVS, though. In fact, the most effective way to optimize eyesight, and minimize permanent damage, when spending prolonged periods staring at the screen is also the simplest: purchase Computer Glasses in Fort Collins CO.
Typically when someone uses a computer, the screen is located in an intermediary zone that can make it hard even for those who wear corrective contacts or glasses to see. Those who are nearsighted can head to the optometrist for glasses or contacts to help them see distance. Farsighted patients can usually just head to the nearest store for reading glasses. But, those having trouble with this intermediate zone can have difficulty finding glasses that help.
In addition to being designed to target the intermediate zone of vision where computer screens most typically sit, Computer Glasses in Fort Collins CO also have lenses designed specifically to help their wearers keep objects on the screen in focus. As with regular glasses, computer glasses must be prescribed by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. This is because tests must be performed to determine a patient’s prescription strength prior to fitting them for glasses.
