Eye strain in front of a computer screen?
Modern people spend many hours in front of screens. It's hard to imagine our lives without computers and mobile phones, but they tire our eyes, so it's worth taking care of them.
The causes:
-More and more professions use computers as tools. Even if there is no such relationship between profession and computer, expert studies have shown that the average modern person spends 3 hours a day in front of a mobile or tablet screen, just for the simple purpose of checking the time, social media, emails, etc. -In addition, mobile/computer/tablet screens, even the light bulbs in our homes are now LED technology, and emit high-energy harmful blue light (wavelength 400-420 nm).
The problems:
-This digital habit has as possible results blurred distant vision after long hours of close work, eye fatigue, dry eyes, headaches, and difficulty sleeping. -The harmful blue light emitted by screens accelerates the aging of our eyes (think of the white-bluish color of a small child's eyeballs, as opposed to the paleness of an elderly person's eyeballs), and most importantly, it contributes (without being the main proven cause) to the appearance of macular or retinopathy, such as the increasingly common macular degeneration.
The solutions:
1h) Frequent breaks and moisturizing eye drops. The 20-20-20 rule is recommended. Every 20 minutes of close work, focus 20 meters away for 20 seconds, as well as a moisturizing eye drop in each eye every 8 hours Lacrifresh®Moisture 15ml).
2η) Coating: The conventional multiple coatings that we have known until now do not help in the area of protection from blue light. Appropriate coatings (blueblock 400-420nm) are needed to block this harmful light, which are incorporated into the ophthalmic lenses when we make the eyeglasses. *For those who do not have prescriptions, in our physical store as well as at www.opticaclub.gr, in addition to the constructions, you will also find ready-made glasses with the above coating: ΓΥΑΛΙΑ ΠΡΟΣΤΑΣΙΑΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΙΣ ΟΘΟΝΕΣ.
3η) Regardless of what type of ametropia someone has (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia), it is recommended that glasses be manufactured with the cutting-edge Shamir Relax™ lens technology. Regardless of the degree of vision a person has, and regardless of age, these ophthalmic lenses provide a relief-relaxation of vision from the middle of the lens and downwards, where the zones we focus for our near "digital" activities are, without at the same time spoiling our distant vision. Even if someone does not have degrees for distance, we apply this progressive relief-relaxation on ophthalmic lenses without a degree, so that the near "digital" vision can rest. They are combined with the coating of the 2nd solution.
Cost of Shamir Relax™ lenses ≈225€
*In terms of aesthetics, both the special coating and the relax style are not visible and are not perceived by a third party. *The above lenses cannot be ordered online, as in-person measurements are required.
