NearVision CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) is a non-laser procedure
developed specifically for baby boomers who have had clear vision
all their life, but now struggle to see close up, and require
reading glasses..

| Can
Computers Damage Your Eyes? ( By Dr Andrew Fink) |
|
Research from Israel
Tel Aviv-2005.....Many of my patients in Israel have complained
of eye problems while working with their computers. I hear about
blurred vision, tired eyes, gritty eyes and headaches. Many start
to wear eye glasses and blame their computers. Others are convinced
that their computer has caused their Myopia (nearsightedness)
to worsen. Israeli high tech employees worry about radiation
from the computer screen. Many are also concerned about permanent
irreversible damage.
The good news is that extensive eye care health research in Israel
and in North America has shown conclusively and repeatedly that
computers do not cause eye disease. Nor has it been shown that
intensive computer work can lead to or effect myopia in high
tech workers. (The situation with children is slightly more controversial
but this will be discussed in another article) However there
is no doubt that computers can lead to many temporary eye problems
most of which can be solved by simple changes in work pattern.
The sooner any symptoms begin, for instance within half an hour
of commencing work, the more likely it is that there is a specific
problem. Developing tired eyes after eight hours of non stop
intensive visual activity is normal though. Try running the New
York, London or Jerusalem marathons and see if your legs get
tired.
The following are some simple tips to prevent eye damage and
to enhance your eye health care for many years to come.
Have your eyes and vision checked at least once a year. Any minor
vision problem will be aggravated by computer use. If you wear
glasses or contact lenses, be sure they are appropriate for computer
use and for the distance between you and your computer.
Be sure to rest your eyes regularly, especially if you are new
to computers. Remember the 20:20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look
in to the distance for 20 seconds. Continuous use of any part
of the body, including your eyes, will inevitably lead to fatigue.
Your computer should be at a comfortable distance (about 30-40cm)
and the top of the screen should be facing you and slightly below
eye level. Adjust your desk or chair so that this is the case.
Our eyes are designed to point forwards and downwards when looking
at near objects, e.g. when reading. Looking upwards or sideways
at your computer will rapidly lead to eye strain.
Hang any material you are copying at the same distance and as
close to the screen as possible. Use a manuscript holder. This
will prevent constant refocusing to differing distances and directions.
Minimise glare from your computer screen due to reflections from
lights or windows. This can be done by adjusting the direction
of your screen or by attaching a glare reduction filter. Your
pupil changes in size according to the brightness of the screen
and excessive movement of the pupil caused by multiple reflections
can cause headaches. Bright sunlight from a window behind your
screen will have a similar effect. Glare also causes you to screw
up your eyes, which if prolonged, will lead to headaches. However
make sure your desk and key board are sufficiently illuminated.
Occasional use of artificial tear eye drops (as recommended by
your eye doctor) can help dry eyes symptoms. We tend to blink
less when concentrating intently, and when looking straight ahead
much of the eye is exposed leading to increased tear evaporation
and dry eyes.
Keep your computer screen clean. Dust and fingerprints can reduce
clarity.
Poor quality computer screens can lead to eye strain. Low resolution,
low pixel numbers and high contrast colors can put an extra strain
on the eyes when reading from a screen. The Refresh Rate of a
computer is a measure of how often the display unit refreshes
or redraws the picture per second. In the past rates of 60Hz
were acceptable, but flickering of the screen was evident at
this rate causing headaches.It is now recommended that the rate
should not be less than 70Hz and most new monitors are 75-85
Hz.
Sensible use of your computer in Israel or in any region of the
world will reduce headaches and eye discomfort, and increase
productivity |
