For more information, please contact Stephanie Brown at January is Save Your Vision Month Healthy Vision at the Computer People who sit in front of a computer for long periods of time often encounter a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Headaches, neck strain, backaches and wrist pain are common, but, sadly, the most prevalent symptoms of prolonged computer use eye strain, blurred vision and dry eye are often overlooked. While decreasing time spent at a computer may not be an option, there are ways to maximize healthy vision for comfortable use of the computer. Have a regular comprehensive eye exam to ensure your eyes are healthy and that you have the correct eyeglass or contact lens prescription (if necessary). Be certain to tell your optometrist about the computer work you do. Wear glasses that are specifically designed to function comfortably at the computer. The lenses you wear for day to day activities may not be the best for working at the computer. (1) Rest the eyes (2) Blink forcefully (3) Use a humidifier and (4) Instill artificial tears Page 2
