Suffering from eye strain after

long hours in front of the computer?

You’re not alone

If you are part of the 46 percent of Americans

who spend five or more hours a day on a

computer or a smart phone

1

, you probably

already know that a long day staring at your

screen can sometimes lead to tired eyes and

headaches. But did you know these issues

could also be signs of Computer Vision

Syndrome (CVS)? Besides tired eyes and

headaches, other symptoms of CVS include

double vision, eyestrain and sometimes even

neck and shoulder aches. The reason is that

our eyes have a harder time focusing on

characters on a computer screen. Unlike

printed type, computer characters are

brightest at the center and lighter on the

edges. The eyes jump around as they try to

focus, making them tired and affecting other

areas of the upper body.

2

Fortunately, the effects of CVS are neither

permanent nor damaging to the eye. You can

help combat CVS by following a few simple

steps:

3

Get an eye exam before starting a job that

requires extensive computer use.

Use a flat-panel monitor or LCD screen that

has crisper resolutions.

Place the monitor at eye level about

20 to 26 inches away from you. Always

use the computer in proper light.

Blink more often to keep your eyes moist.

Take breaks from your computer to rest

your eyes.

Visit your eye doctor annually to monitor

and manage symptoms, unless otherwise

recommended by your eye doctor.

For some, CVS symptoms can be relieved

with computer eyewear or UV coating on

your lenses to reduce glare. Talk with your

eye doctor to learn about these options.

If new glasses are in order, now is the

perfect time to visit LensCrafters for The

Semi-Annual Sale where you will save 50%

off lenses with a frame purchase. PLUS, for

a limited time, VALUED AAA members get

an extra $25 OFF when you Show Your Card

& Save ®. Hurry, offer expires 3/31/2013.
