Eye Care Concerns

Viewing digital content for several hours per day can put a strain on your eyes that you might not even be aware of until it becomes a problem. A combination of multiple signs of computer vision is a cause for concern. It is best to visit an expert in optometry if you begin experiencing symptoms such as the burning or strain of your eyes. Other signs of this condition include headaches and doubled or blurred vision. This may be accompanied by pain in your neck and/or shoulders.
 

Red eyes result from the way in which you look at your computer screen. Most people subconsciously open their eyes as wide as possible. Combined with blinking less frequently, this can easily lead to the redness in your eyes. The frequency with which you blink determines if your eyes stay wet or if they dry out.
 

If you find yourself experiencing a headache after working on the computer, it is usually attributed to the strain on your eyes. Your brain shares the strain, causing you to have a headache that over the counter medicines won't be able to relieve.
 

When computer vision causes blurry or double vision, it doesn't become apparent until you look away from the screen. This causes everything you see to appear to be surrounded by fuzziness. It happens due to your eyes' inability to properly focus on anything.
 

An optometry expert can determine when your neck and shoulder pain is a result of eye strain. However, this has to do with how you sit in front of the computer. You can avoid pain by changing your computer's and chair's positions.
