In our increasingly digital world, most of us spend hours each day staring at screens. Prolonged screen time for work, gaming, or staying connected can wreak havoc on your eyes, leaving them red and uncomfortable.
At Unger Eye Wellness, we offer specialized computer glasses to help with eye strain from screens and improve visual comfort. Let's find out more about how these glasses work and can benefit you.
The Impact of Digital Eye Strain (DES)
Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome (CVS), is a common condition affecting many individuals. Symptoms of DES include:
- Blurred Vision: Difficulty maintaining clear vision after prolonged screen use.
- Dry Eyes: Reduced blinking while using screens, leading to dryness and irritation.
- Headaches: Frequent headaches caused by prolonged screen exposure.
- Neck and Shoulder Pain: Poor posture during screen use, leading to musculoskeletal discomfort.
- Difficulty Falling Asleep: Disrupted sleep patterns due to prolonged exposure to screens, especially before bedtime.
The Impact of Blue Light on Your Eyes
One of the primary contributors to DES is the blue light emitted by digital devices. Blue light has a high energy level and flickers more frequently than other light types, leading to increased eye strain. While natural blue light is beneficial in moderation, excessive exposure can cause:
- Eye Strain and Discomfort: Continuous focus on screens without adequate breaks.
- Disrupted Sleep: Blue light can interfere with sleep patterns, making it harder to fall asleep.
- Potential Long-Term Damage: Prolonged exposure may contribute to conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration.

Lens Coatings for Enhanced Vision and Comfort
In addition to computer lenses, we offer several lens treatments to further enhance your visual experience:
Scratch-Resistant Coating
While no lenses are completely scratch-proof, our scratch-resistant treatments can significantly reduce the likelihood of scratches. This helps to maintain the clarity and effectiveness of your lenses for a longer period of time.
Anti-Reflective Coating
Our anti-reflective coatings reduce glare from screens and other light sources, improving visual comfort and reducing eye strain. This coating also enhances the cosmetic appearance of your lenses, making your eyes more visible and natural-looking.
