Take This Test

If you work at a computer three or more hours a day, answer these questions.

Ask Yourself...

  • Do my eyes feel tired, especially at the end of the day?
  • Is it hard to keep my computer screen clearly in focus?
  • Do I tilt and turn my head frequently throughout the day?

 Computer Vision Syndrome

Compusight™ eyewear

Now there's Compusight™ Eyewear

Engineered specifically with computer users in mind. Compusight™ eyewear is created specifically for computer users. It provides a clear wide view of the entire computer work area - from the keyboard and the workspace around you to your monitor. Over half the adults in the United States use a computer at least three hours a day.

 

Fatigue and Discomfort

As computer use increases, so does eyestrain, neck aches and back pain. If you work in front of a computer three or more hours a day and notice fatigue and discomfort, you're not alone. Over 20 percent of computer users suffer from neck aches, backaches and other musculoskeletal problems.

Compusight™ eyewear will help you keep a more comfortable distance from your computer monitor that may help reduce strain on your neck and back.

If you wear bifocals at the computer, you are probably tilting your head down to focus on the keyboard, and then moving it up and back to keep the screen and other midrange objects in focus. This could be why your eyes, neck and back feel so tired at the end of the day - your bifocals simply are not designed to have a midrange focal point to meet the needs of computer users.

Compusight eyewear

If you wear progressive lenses at the computer, you may not be able to clearly see the full width of your monitor or adjacent reading materials. This can lead to frequent head turning because the midrange "channel" is not wide enough to accommodate computer users. When you have to work harder to keep everything in focus, your eyes and muscles become fatigued in just a few hours.
