Are you experiencing eye fatigue, headaches, or blurry vision after staring at screens all day? You may be suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as digital eye strain. At 20/20 EyeVenue, we offer personalized solutions, including but not limited to Neurolens®, to relieve your symptoms and restore comfortable vision.
Computer Vision Syndrome occurs when your eyes have to work harder than usual to focus on a digital screen for extended periods. Several factors contribute to this condition, including:
Poor lighting or screen glare
Improper viewing distances
Uncorrected vision problems
Prolonged focus at a fixed distance
Poor posture while using digital devices
Even people with perfect vision can experience symptoms if their eyes and brain are not working together properly, especially when switching between devices or multitasking throughout the day.
The symptoms of CVS can range from mildly annoying to seriously disruptive. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to schedule an eye exam:
Blurred or double vision
Headaches
Eye fatigue or discomfort
Dry or watery eyes
Neck, shoulder, or back pain
Difficulty concentrating or focusing
These symptoms often worsen the longer you use digital screens and may persist even after you stop.
There are several simple adjustments you can make to reduce digital eyestrain:
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
Adjust your screen brightness and contrast to comfortable levels.
Use artificial tears or humidifiers to combat dry eyes.
Position your monitor about an arm’s length away and slightly below eye level.
Ensure your workspace has proper lighting to minimize glare.
Schedule regular eye exams to keep your vision updated and catch early signs of strain.
While these habits help, many patients benefit from advanced treatment options tailored to their visual needs.
Neurolens® is an innovative lens technology designed to correct eye misalignment—an underlying cause of many CVS symptoms. Even a small misalignment can cause the eyes to work overtime, especially during prolonged close-up tasks like reading or working on a computer.
Neurolens uses contoured prism technology to bring the eyes into proper alignment, helping to relieve pressure on the visual system and the nervous system. The result? Improved comfort and focus, especially for screen-heavy lifestyles.
Patients who wear Neurolenses or utilize other solutions/treatments often report significant improvements in both their symptoms and quality of life. Key benefits include:
Reduced frequency and severity of headaches
Less eye strain and fatigue
Better concentration and productivity
Increased visual comfort during screen use
Relief from neck and shoulder pain caused by eye misalignment
These lenses are customized based on a detailed measurement of your eye alignment using the Neurolens Measurement Device, available at 20/20 EyeVenue.
