Several studies show that you may be blinking 60% less when working with these backlit devices! The blink is the eyes mechanism to keep the ocular surface lubricated among other things. Most of us today spend hours on the computer at work and subsequently suffer from symptoms of dry eye and fatigue, more specifically known as Computer Vision Syndrome. Is this you? Come in for an eye exam today and mention any symptoms to your doctor. We can help you!
