Who Gets Computer Vision?

Tens of millions of people around the world have developed computer vision because of their heavy screen time and the eye strain it causes. It is also more likely to occur as you get older. Without taking a few precautions, it's estimated that up to 90% of people who work on computers have a few of the symptoms. Children are also at risk for this condition.

Symptoms of Computer Vision

This condition often causes a person’s vision to become blurred or doubled. It is also known for causing eye fatigue of differing intensities. If you see floaters often, this can be a sign of Computer Vision. You may also have dry eyes or a feeling of burning in the eyes. Your eyes may feel irritated without anything being in them. You may also get eyes that are watery and red. This condition can cause pain in the neck or back as well as headaches. If you find that you have one or more of these symptoms, it may be your screen time that is causing it. Fortunately, there are ways to alleviate this condition without having to find a new job.

Treatments for Computer Vision

A doctor of optometry can provide the testing and diagnosis that is needed to confirm that you have this condition. Once this is done, the optometrist can show you many ways to reduce your eye strain and ease the symptoms. There are a few changes that you can make every day that will help. Among these changes are getting a new vision prescription or using special glasses such as tinted lenses or bifocals. You may also be asked to change your lighting or computer angle in your workspace so that there is no glare on your screen. You may need to rearrange your computer or chair so that it is a specific distance from your eyes.
