Whether it's personal or for work, chances are that you spend more than a couple hours per day in front of a computer. If so, it's likely that you experience symptoms associated with Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). CVS symptoms can include headaches; tired, stressed, or burning eyes; loss of focus; blurred or double vision; and even shoulder and neck pain.
CVS is caused by the way your eyes perceive letters and numbers on a computer screen differently than on printed paper or other sources. Characters on a computer screen are defined and contrasted by light: they are made of tiny dots called pixels and they are brightest at the center and diminish toward their edges. Also, the computer screen lighting each character refreshes itself thousands of times per second. Although you don't notice the differences in light or the refresh rate on your computer screen, your eyes certainly do. Over time it stresses them out and cause the symptoms associated with CVS.
During your yearly eye health examination we will perform several tests to detect symptoms that you might be experiencing related to CVS.
