Computer Vision Syndrome Assessment
For eye strain, headaches and dryness caused by long hours at a screen. Assessment and lens advice by qualified optometry professionals.
Built for people who work at a screen.
Extended screen work reduces blinking and keeps the eyes focused at one distance, which produces strain, headaches, dryness and blurring by the end of the day.
The assessment looks at focusing, alignment and tear film, and usually results in a lens recommendation along with changes to working habits.
