Computer Glasses for Blurred
Vision and Other CVS
Symptoms
When you work at a computer
for any length of time, it's
common to experience blurred
vision and other symptoms of
computer vision syndrome
(CVS). You're more likely to
experience eyestrain and eye
fatigue while sitting at the
computer, because of unique
visual demands that are
unlike those associated with
most other activities.
If you're under age 40,
blurred vision may be due to
an inability of your eyes to
remain accurately focused on
your computer screen for a
sustained time period. Or
eye fatigue and blurriness
may be related to problems
with quickly and accurately
changing focus, such as when
you shift your gaze from
your monitor to your
keyboard and back again.
This lag of accommodation
can be associated with CVS.
If you're over age 40, the
problem may be due to the
onset of presbyopia - the
normal age-related loss of
near focusing ability. This,
too, can cause CVS symptoms.
What can you do? For one
thing, obtaining customized
computer glasses can make a
world of difference in your
comfort level while you're
using the computer. These
special-purpose glasses are
prescribed specifically to
reduce eyestrain and to give
you the most comfortable
vision at your computer.
