Computer Vision Syndrome Treatment in Stratford and Bridgeport

If you spend a large amount of your day looking at a computer screen, there's a good chance that you experience at least some of the symptoms of computer vision syndrome. Luckily, this problem is treatable with the help of an optometry professional. At Family Vision Center, serving Stratford and Bridgeport, we're experienced in helping people find relief from computer vision. 

What Is Computer Vision?

Computer vision syndrome is also known as digital eye strain, and refers to a collection of symptoms created by looking at a screen for extended periods of time. While this syndrome typically develops from computer use, extensive use of tablets, cell phones, video games, and other screened devices can also cause symptoms. People who struggle with computer vision syndrome typically report neck and shoulder pain, dry eyes, headaches, eye strain, and blurred vision. There are a number of different circumstances that can contribute to computer vision, such as a long time looking at the screen without a break, improper viewing distance from the screen, poor desk setup, and poor posture while using the computer.

How Is Computer Vision Treated?

During your appointment, we'll talk about your work environment and see if there are environmental factors we can change that may help ease your computer vision syndrome. We may also prescribe special glasses designed for computer use that can help relieve some of the strain on your eyes. We'll talk about lifestyle changes you can make when using a screen, such as maintaining proper posture, taking breaks, and staying hydrated to help keep your eyes naturally producing plenty of tears. Often, a combination of treatments works best when helping people find relief from computer vision syndrome.
