Stop Looking at Those Monitors
Topic: Optical

Eyes itch, feel tired, or do you have headaches. Maybe it's about time you stopped looing at your monitor or put down that iPhone. In a report from the news service Reuters, "according to recent research with VSP Vision Care eye doctors, 33 percent reported that nearly one third or more of their patients suffer from symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome or digital device-related vision problems.  The most common symptoms of patients suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome include eye strain (82 percent), dry or irritated eyes (74 percent), fatigue (70 percent) and headaches (61 percent).  Yet, two in three eye doctors report 20 percent or fewer of their patients even know what Computer Vision Syndrome is, showing a low level of understanding of the condition."
