Computer Vision Treatment

Computer vision syndrome is a common eye problem many people get when they spend many hours looking at a computer screen. It's more common as jobs become computer driven in nature. When someone has computer vision, it can significantly affect their eyes and be highly uncomfortable.

Computer vision can cause the eyes to be dry, cause headaches, and more. Suppose you need computer vision treatment, astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, or glaucoma. Call our optometry center Advanced Eyecare in Las Vegas, to make your appointment for eye care.

What Is Computer Vision?

When you spend a long time in front of a computer screen, there are specific ways that your eyes, head, and neck act that can lead to computer vision. It's harder to read from a screen than printed text. This forces your eyes to work harder for as long as you're at the computer. If you're there for a long time, this can cause neck and back pain and strained eyes. When reading from a computer screen, your eyes won't blink as much as they need, leading to dry, irritated eyes.

Computer Vision Treatment

The problem that causes computer vision is you strain your eyes in front of a computer. Assist yourself at home. You can do some of the following tips. Adjust the lighting that falls on your computer screen. If there is a glare on the screen, your eyes will work much harder. You also need to adjust the screen so that your head and neck aren't at awkward angles when looking at it. One of the most important things you need to use is the 20/20/20 rule. This requires you to take a 20-second eye break from your screen every 20 minutes. During that time, look at an object about 20 feet away. Doing this can be a big help for your eyes.
