Does your Child Experience Computer Eye Strain?

Your child could have Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

Does your child spend a lot of time staring at their computer screen or other digital device?

The blue light that is emitted from these devices create a glare that can affect the visual contrast and clarity of the image on the screen. As a result, the eyes need to work harder to see clearly.

This can lead to a Computer Vision Syndrome, a condition characterized by eye strain, blurry vision, dry eyes, headaches, and fatigue.

These symptoms can significantly affect your child’s ability to concentrate and succeed in school.

If your child spends a lot of their day on their digital device, you may want to consider purchasing computer glasses or blue light filters for their lenses. These glasses are available with or without a prescription and are compatible with contact lenses as well.
