Are Computer Glasses Right For You?
Computer glasses are designed to help reduce eye strain associated with long hours in front of a computer.
Computer lenses have a wide field of vision.
If you find yourself leaning forward or tilting your head back to see the screen clearly, or experience neck, shoulder, or back pain after using your device, a new pair of computer glasses might help!
The latest in lens technology, computer lenses provide a wide field of vision at an intermediate range – about 20” to 26” – so wearers can see their computer monitor clearly and comfortably.
These glasses can also be customized for your specific need: someone who works at a computer and needs to see clearly across the room will have different fields of vision than someone who needs to look at fine details or small print all day.
Two other lens options are available to help reduce eye strain and make computer or mobile screen time more comfortable.
1. Anti-Reflective Coating
Anti-reflective coating on lenses reduces glare and light reflections from lamps, computer screens, and nighttime traffic, to your favorite summertime lake or snowy ski trail. Anti-reflective lenses also ensure photos capture your beautiful eyes (and not the camera’s flash!).
2. Blue-Light-Blocking Lenses
Blue-light-blocking lenses filter out the blue light emitted by computer and smartphone screens, LED lights, and fluorescent lighting that can contribute to dry, tired eyes, headaches, and sleepless nights. (Read more about blue light glasses on our blog.)
