Maple Ridge Eye Care Brings Awareness to Computer Vision Syndrome

MAPLE RIDGE, British Columbia, Dec. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maple Ridge Eye Care is working to increase awareness about those affected by computer vision syndrome. By increasing awareness, the Maple Ridge optometry practice hopes to help everyone achieve healthy, comfortable vision while using a computer or other electronic device. Many people work with computers on a daily basis, and a large number of people spend several hours a day looking at bright computer screens, often in excess of eight or more hours. According to recent research, these devices can have a significant impact on an individual’s eyesight, causing fatigue, eyestrain, blurred vision and headaches.

National optometric associations define computer vision syndrome as a range of eye and vision-related issues arising from prolonged computer use. According to recent studies, the symptoms appear to be more pronounced with extensive computer use.
