When working on the computer for a certain period of time every day, for those who play for many hours in front of the screen and do it especially at night, they may suffer from eye fatigue, blurred vision, red eyes and other symptoms of " computer vision syndrome " or CSV or, in Italian, computer vision syndrome .
This is because the job the eyes do when they look at a screen is different from any other activity.
For those under the age of 40, eye fatigue or blurred vision may depend on the inability of the eyes to remain accurately focused on the screen or on the difficulty in changing the focus from the keyboard to the screen and vice versa for prolonged periods.
These focus problems are often associated with CVS.
Those over the age of 40 may have signs of presbyopia, a normal loss of focus due to age, which can cause CVS symptoms.
Furthermore, there is the problem of the blue light of the screens that disturbs the biological rhythms and affects the sleep-wake cycle. disturbing sleep and slowing down melatonin production in our body.
Of this problem I had done several researches described in the article on how to protect eyesight from computer and mobile screens.
For those who have to work or play on the computer many hours every day and especially at night, while the first advice is to go to a visit to the ophthalmologist, it is possible to consider the purchase of personalized computer glasses, even graduated.
Computer glasses differ from ordinary glasses or reading glasses in that they are designed to optimize vision when viewing the computer screen .
They are designed to reduce glare (a major cause of eye strain), filter blue light, increase contrast and maximize what is seen through the lenses, making it easier to watch a screen for longer periods of time.
The main features of a computer eyewear are:
- Anti-reflective coating (AR) : eliminates light reflections from the front and rear surfaces of the lenses which can cause eye strain.
Lens tinting: some computer glasses have a usually yellow tint, designed to increase contrast on the screen and filter blue light spectra so that the eye muscles relax.
Other companies leave the darker transparent lenses, in some cases also perfect as sunglasses, with photochromic protection.
How effective these computer glasses are "> here, here and here) I understood that the feeling of well-being they give is purely subjective and dependent on other factors including, the quality of the monitor you look at, the environmental conditions of the place, the display habits and brightness around.
If you don't have eye problems, it is not absolutely necessary to buy computer glasses.
If you have symptoms of computer vision syndrome, after having also asked an ophthalmologist, it might be a good idea to buy a pair of these glasses, going to the best brands and without sparing.
From my experience, since I am at the computer many hours every day and since I suffered a lot of burning and red eyes, I have been using computer glasses for 4 years with good satisfaction, finding much relief so that I can hardly do without it anymore (and this is perhaps not a positive factor).
The best Italian shop specializing in computer glasses is NoWave, which offers a really comfortable site, where you can try every pair of glasses virtually online by mirroring yourself through the webcam or seeing how they are on their own photo.
On the NoWave website it is not only possible to buy anti-blue light computer glasses, but also photochromic ones, so that they can be used both for work and also as sunglasses .
On the website are also available eyeglasses (for nearsighted, astigmatic, hyperopic ...) and presbyopic glasses always with anti blue light filter for the screens.
Computer glasses can also be purchased in any optical store or even online on Amazon.
The most famous brand is certainly the American Gunnar, which specializes in the sale of computer glasses with yellow lenses, and offers many models to choose from, even trendy.
Another excellent brand of computer glasses is EyeWear, with clear lenses and an anti-blue filter.
