Computer glasses can be a great investment if you spend a lot of time in front of screens. Here are a few reasons why they might be beneficial for you:
-
Reduce Digital Eye Strain: Prolonged screen time can cause digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome. Symptoms include dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision. Computer glasses are designed to reduce these symptoms.
-
Blue Light Protection: Screens emit blue light, which can interfere with your sleep cycle and potentially harm your eyes over time. Many computer glasses have lenses that filter out a significant portion of blue light. Check with your Optician to be certain you are getting the correct lenses.
-
Improve Comfort: Wearing computer glasses can make it more comfortable to work at a computer for extended periods. They often have a slight magnification, which reduces the effort your eyes need to focus on the screen.
-
Enhance Productivity: By reducing eye strain and discomfort, computer glasses can help you stay focused and productive for longer periods.

A CONTACT LENS IS A MEDICAL DEVICE THAT SITS ON YOUR EYE. I will often get questions or stories from Contact Lens wearers who should take better care of their contacts which are worn directly on their corneas. It is not like glasses where the lenses have a vertex distance from the eye. I look at the contact lens as a medical device that sits directly on the eye. What follows is a link that will refresh your memory on the care and handling of your contact lenses.
Eyes getting tired? Do you work at a computer, tablet, etc. most of the day? Getting headaches? I am not a doctor. But, you may be suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome. Follow the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes take a 20 second break and focus on something 20 feet away. Remember to do a full blink. When we are staring at our computer we forget to blink and our blinks tend to not be complete. Think about it. Also, get yourself computer glasses with a blue blocker anti reflective coating. If you do not normally wear glasses get a plano prescription.
Here is an interesting article I found.
When will I or will I get cataracts and what is a cataract?
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of an eye and replace it with an artificial lens. The natural lens typically is clear, but a cataract causes the lens to become cloudy. Cataracts eventually can affect vision.
Cataract surgery is performed by an eye doctor, also called an ophthalmologist. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. This means you don't have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery is very common and generally is a safe procedure.

Why It’s Important to Work With an Optician When Choosing Eyewear
An Optician does far more than help you pick out frames. They make sure your eyewear actually works for your eyes, your prescription, and your daily life. Here’s why that matters:
1. Your prescription needs to be centered correctly Even a perfect pair of lenses won’t work if the optical center, PD, or segment height is off. An Optician measures these precisely so your vision is clear and comfortable.
2. Lens options can be confusing Progressives, single‑vision, high‑index, AR coatings, blue‑light filters — an Optician helps you choose what you actually need instead of what’s being sold to you.
3. Frames must fit your face and your prescription Some frames simply don’t work with certain prescriptions or face shapes. An Optician knows which styles will give you the best vision and the best fit.
4. Proper adjustments make all the difference A frame that isn’t adjusted correctly can cause slipping, headaches, pressure points, or distorted vision. Opticians fine‑tune the fit so your glasses feel good all day.
5. You get long‑term support Cleaning, tightening, replacing nose pads, reshaping bent frames — an Optician keeps your eyewear working long after you buy it.
