Computer Eyewear & Digital Eye Strain Relief

In today’s digital world, our eyes are under more pressure than ever before. Whether you're working from a computer, reading on a tablet, or scrolling on your phone, prolonged screen time can lead to a common — and often overlooked — condition known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome.

At Optic Gallery Fort Apache, we offer advanced solutions to protect your eyes and ease the discomfort associated with digital device use. Our wide selection of computer glasses, including options with Eyezen® lenses and blue light protection, are specifically designed to improve your visual comfort, reduce fatigue, and support your long-term eye health.

Why You May Need Computer Glasses

Digital screens emit blue light, a high-energy visible light that may contribute to eye strain, sleep disruption, and long-term retinal damage. In addition, most people tend to blink less while using screens, which can lead to dryness, irritation, and blurry vision.

Computer glasses are specially designed to support your eyes during extended screen use. Unlike regular prescription glasses, they are optimized for the intermediate zone — the distance between your eyes and your digital devices — and can include coatings or filters to reduce glare and block blue light.

Whether you’re spending hours on spreadsheets or enjoying downtime with your favorite show, custom-fit computer glasses can help your eyes feel more comfortable and focused.

Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome

You might be experiencing digital eye strain if you notice:

• Blurred or fluctuating vision
  
  

• Dry, itchy, or watery eyes
  
  

• Redness or inflammation
  
  

• Headaches or migraines
  
  

• Eye pain or burning sensation
  
  

• Neck, shoulder, or back pain due to poor posture and visual fatigue
  
  

Symptoms often worsen after extended screen use and may persist even after stepping away from the screen.

How Computer Glasses Help

Computer glasses from Optic Gallery Fort Apache are tailored to your work environment, screen distance, and vision needs. Depending on your preferences and prescription, your optometrist may recommend:

• Eyezen® Lenses – These advanced lenses provide targeted relief for digital eye strain by enhancing focus and reducing blue light exposure. Eyezen lenses are ideal for everyday wear and support a smoother transition between screen distances.
  
  

• Blue Light Filters – Integrated into your lenses, these filters reduce the amount of blue light entering your eyes from LED screens and other digital devices. They also help support your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle by reducing screen-induced melatonin suppression.
  
  

• Anti-Reflective Coatings – These minimize glare and reflections from your screen or overhead lighting, making it easier for your eyes to focus.
  
  

• Intermediate or Office Lenses – These specialized lenses are crafted for mid-range vision (typically 20–26 inches), making them perfect for computer users who spend long hours at a desk. They reduce the need for constant head or eye movement, promoting more natural posture and comfort throughout the day.
  
  

How Else Can You Prevent Digital Eye Strain?

While computer glasses make a big difference, there are other steps you can take to protect your eyes from screen fatigue:

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away
  
  

• Adjust your screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level
  
  

• Position your screen at eye level and at least 20 inches away from your face
  
  

• Use artificial tears or humidifiers if dry eyes are a problem
  
  

• Avoid screen use at least an hour before bed to improve sleep quality
  
  

Our doctors can help you determine what combination of habits, tools, and lenses will work best for your unique routine.
