Computer Vision Syndrome
Computer Vision Syndrome Treatment at Urban Optometry
At Urban Optometry, we understand how much time people spend on digital devices — from computers and tablets to smartphones and TVs. Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as Digital Eye Strain, is a condition that develops after prolonged screen use, causing symptoms like eye fatigue, blurred vision, headaches, and neck or shoulder pain.
The blue light, glare, and constant focus required by screens can strain your eye muscles and make daily tasks more difficult. Our Computer Vision Syndrome treatments are designed to relieve discomfort, restore visual clarity, and help you feel more comfortable throughout your workday.
The Benefits of Computer Vision Syndrome Treatment
Urban Optometry’s personalized treatments for Computer Vision Syndrome help protect your eyes from digital strain and enhance your long-term visual health. Here are some key benefits:
Supports Long-Term Eye Health
Regular treatment and proper eyewear can prevent chronic eye fatigue and protect against future issues caused by constant digital exposure.
Reduces Eye Strain and Fatigue
Treatments help your eyes relax by reducing tension in the muscles that focus on screens, making long hours of computer use more comfortable.
Improves Visual Clarity
Customized prescriptions and anti-glare lens coatings help sharpen your focus and minimize blurriness, allowing you to see screens clearly without squinting.
Prevents Headaches and Dryness
By improving eye coordination and hydration, treatments relieve headaches and dryness that often come from staring at screens for too long.
Enhances Posture and Comfort
Eye strain often leads to poor posture. Treating CVS helps reduce neck, shoulder, and back pain by improving visual comfort and natural alignment.
