In our modern world, many people use computers and digital devices daily for work, school, or leisure time. While these devices are convenient, make work easier, and are entertaining, they can put stress on your eyes. This stress can lead to irritation that can cause you to experience dizziness, headaches, and blurry vision.
At Dittman Eyecare, we recommend computer glasses to reduce these symptoms and improve your vision while you are using a computer or digital device.
What are Computer Glasses?
Computer glasses are a type of prescription lens that has a special coating used to block blue light. When wearing them, you can use the computer more comfortably rather than stress or strain your eyes.
Blue Light and How It is Harmful to Your Eyes
Computers and other digital devices emit blue wavelength light, similar to what the sun emits. Blue helps to boost your attention, reaction time, and mood when it is received from the sun.
Unlike the sun, the blue light emitted by computers and digital devices is harmful to your eyes and body. This type of blue light can cause your eyes to age prematurely and can also cause a condition called computer vision syndrome.
What is Computer Vision Syndrome?
Computer vision syndrome is a temporary eye condition that is caused by using a computer screen for a long period of time without proper eyewear. The main cause of this syndrome is the blue light emitted from the screen. With computer glasses, you can better deal with this condition. Your prescription strength will depend on what computer vision syndrome symptoms you are experiencing.
Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome
When you are over-exposed to blue light, you can experience a variety of symptoms such as digital eye strain and a disrupted sleep cycle. These include symptoms such as:
Blurry vision
Dry or red eyes
Double vision
Back or neck pain
Eye fatigue
How Does Blue Light Disrupt Sleep?
When you receive blue light from the sun, it helps you be alert and energized for the day. When you use digital devices before bed, it can disrupt your circadian rhythm or your sleeping and waking pattern. The blue light in devices like your mobile phone suppresses the hormone melatonin, which helps to regulate your circadian rhythm.
When your circadian rhythm is disrupted, you will have difficulty falling asleep, which can lead to tiredness or restlessness. This can also cause eye fatigue, back pain, and neck pain.
What is Digital Eyestrain?
Although we use digital devices in our daily lives, our eyes are unable to filter out harmful blue light effectively. As time goes on, your eyes can become strained by exposure to blue light, which can damage the light-sensitive cells in your retinas.
As we age, this exposure can lead to eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Blue light can also cause slow degeneration of children’s eyes which can lead to complicated eye diseases as they get older.
