How to Correct Your Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS): PRIO Vision Tests and PRIO Eye Glasses?

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Computer induced eye fatigue is affecting those who spent more time before the computer monitor. Your eyes are finding it difficult to focus characters, symbols and images appearing on the computer monitor. The main reason for the eye strain is the display system designed in computer Video Terminal (CVT). Your CVT displays tiny dots or pixels. Your characters, symbols and images are formed by using pixels. As a result your images and text lack well defined edges and hence they strain your eyes. Your eye (ciliary) muscles soon become strained and due to this reasons you capture either double vision or blurred vision. In view of this you are likely to suffer from mental fatigue, burning eyes, dry eyes, headache, muscle spasm around neck and shoulder. CVS is identified as an occupational health hazard. CVS will definitely affect your accuracy in your job as well as productivity.

CVS Eye Glasses

Why your eye glasses or contact lenses or reading glasses are not correcting your computer focusing errors. Your normal eye glasses or contact lenses or reading glasses are designed for focusing at distance (long sight) or at near (short sight), but not at the intermediate distance where your eyes view your computer screen. There are bifocals, trifocals and some progressive lenses are prescribed to provide relief to head and neck movements.But these lenses will not help you to correct your computer focusing errors. So don't get carried by the advices that wearing eye glasses or contact lenses or reading glasses will solve your CVS problems.

Do You Have the Ability to Focus at Short Distance?

Please understand that your activities on your PC require your focusing ability at a short distance. The distance could be 18 to 25 inches. If your focal point is within this range you could feel comfortable. If you suffer from long-sightedness or farsighted vision problems (hyperopia) or astigmatism, then you will experience difficulties in focusing the eyes at close distances.

CVS Eye Glasses are Specially Designed for You

You can wear your prescribed CVS eye glasses when you work on your computer monitor. It is designed for you to focus your eyes on your computer monitor placed at a short distance (not at your normal reading distance). CVS eye glasses are designed to meet your visual needs while working on your computer.

How to Get Tested with PRIO?

If you experience such eye strains, then there is urgency for you to report to the ophthalmologist. Tell him about your occupation and the need to sit in front of the computer monitor for more than two to six hours in a day. Undergo the comprehensive screening tests including the PRIO Vision Tests. Other screening tests will help you to correct myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia and astigmatism. But the screening tests for diagnosing computer monitor focusing errors will be possible with the computer vision testing instrument called PRIO. The PRIO is the unique FDA Class One instrument devised to measure and rate the reaction of your eye's to computer image. PRIO instrument will diagnose your vision errors accurately and prescribe PRIO glasses for necessary correction.

PRIO CVS Eye Glasses

The CVS eye glasses can be used to correct your computer monitor focusing errors or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. You can also use it for reading printed material. However the use of PRIO eye wear is not recommended while driving. You will not find blurred vision or eye fatigue. You are able to get clear and widest vision at your computer monitor. Absolutely there is no distortion and you will love to work with wider screen area.
