ANTI-FATIGUE LENSES

May 16, 2018

In today’s digital world, your eyes are focusing for long periods of time at different distances a lot more than they used to in the past. When you use smart phones, tablets, & computers, if you are a student that does a lot of reading, or if you sit at your desk doing computer work for hours, your eyes are forced to focus on close-up objects for longer periods of time than they’re meant to, & then switch back to distance, over & over again. This can cause eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, & discomfort as the eyes struggle to maintain focus on all these things.

Fortunately, there are several designs of Anti-Fatigue lenses meant to help people of all ages, even people who don’t normally wear glasses. Whether you are a young person or student who needs a small “boost” for close-up, or you need something a little stronger, there are designs that offer help for everyone. Having that little “boost”, or a stronger prescribed power, gives your eyes a helping hand to focus, & allows your eye muscles to relax, thereby reducing eye strain, fatigue, & discomfort.

Please come in & talk to one of our Optometrists or Optical staff about options that will work for you!

Visual snow syndrome (VSS) is a condition that causes people to see visual disturbances similar to static on a television. This "visual snow" can be persistent and is often accompanied by other symptoms that can affect daily life. As more people learn about visual snow syndrome, it becomes essential to understand its symptoms, potential causes, and how to manage it.
