Did you know the leading office-related health problem is chronic eye strain? According to Oahu optometrist Dr. Endo of Edwin Y. Endo, OD & Associates, the majority of frequent computer users experience eye strain. A significant number of the computer worker population even suffers from Computer Vision Syndrome. Headache, eye strain, blurred vision, and dry, irritated eyes are among the most common symptoms.

One of the best ways to relieve symptoms of Chronic Eye Strain and Computer Vision Syndrome is by investing in a pair of computer glasses. Edwin Y. Endo, OD & Associates often prescribes specialized computer glasses to alleviate eye strain.

Computer characters are harder for the eyes to focus on, and specialized computer glasses assist the eyes to compensate the difference between pixels and print. More accurate than regular glasses and far more comfortable than contact lenses, computer glasses are highly beneficial.

Eye strain can also be resolved through a few ergonomic adjustments. By using proper posture at the work desk, taking frequent computer breaks, and reducing excessive ambient lighting, computer workers can help address the discomforts of eye strain. In conjunction with computer glasses, these measures make for a far better computer work experience.
