Blue-light blocking lenses/Computer Vision Syndrome

Blue Light Blocking Lenses

• protection from UV light/Blue Light
• prevent retinal damage from HEV (high-energy visible) light
• relieve digital eyestrain from phones, tablets, computer screens
• reduce sleep pattern disturbance

Computer Vision Syndrome

The most common symptoms associated with digital eye strain:

• headaches (frontal, behind eye, back of the head)
• blurred vision
• dry eyes
• neck and shoulder pain
• eye strain

At Eyecon we will evaluate your ocular history, visual acuity, eye muscle alignment, refraction and most importantly health to identify if you will benefit from a lens that blocks harmful bluelight emitted from a computer screen.
