If we notice that our eyes become strained and irritated during the day, it can be from something called computer vision syndrome. It is a temporary vision condition caused by staring at a computer screen for long periods of time without proper glasses for computer use. Common symptoms associated with this condition blurred vision, red or dry eyes, double vision, dizziness, and headaches. It is caused primarily from staring at the glow that emanates from a screen and something called blue light.
A lot of us wear glasses to correct vision problems. But regular eyeglasses are not the same as computer glasses. Computer reading glasses are specially made to help reduce eye strain. They have an anti-reflective coating to help reduce glare and a tint that helps increase contrast for easier viewing. For those of us who already wear glasses, prescription computer glasses are also available.
