Visual Fatigue Syndrome

Ask us today about our Visual Fatigue Solution Lenses!
The new work demands and the habits linked to leisure time have brought a growing dissemination of the personal computer. This activity has more and more people subjecting their eyes to frequent strain and longer use. This overload of work can lead to an actual syndrome of "visual tiredness" It often happens to many of us to experience at the end of the day some of these symptoms: difficulty reading, visual tiredness, heaviness, lachrymation, burning sensation, headache, etc. For this, there are filtering lenses for glasses, purposely designed to minimize and decrease the impact of the artificial light. 

Tips for Tired Eyes

Blink several times to wash your eyes with tears.

Outside the Eyeball- - eyelid, eyebrow, eyelash, tears.  The eyelids protect the eyes from light and injury and provide moisture. They spread tears evenly over the cornea to keep it smooth.

Eyebrows and eyelashes protect the eyes from particles like dust. Eyebrows are an important part of our expressions and help show our emotions.

Tears are formed by tiny glands that surround the eye.

The layer of tears are important because they; keep the eye moist, create a smooth surface for light to pass through the eye, nourish the front of the eye, and provide protection from injury and infection.

Exercises for the Eyes?!

Yes! People with blurred vision, eyestrain, lazy eye, and/or double vision can use eye exercises to develop normal vision with depth perception and 3D stereovision. In fact, new research shows that supervised eye exercises can help people with lazy eye after the age of seven.

Vision Therapy Is Effective Treatment..Vision Therapy Is Not Just Eye Exercises 
Vision therapy -- a type of physical therapy for the eyes and brain -- is a highly effective non-surgical treatment for many common visual problems such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, convergence insufficiency and some reading and learning disabilities. Many patients who have been told, "it's too late," or "you'll have to learn to live with it" have benefited from vision therapy. In the case of learning disabilities, vision therapy is specifically directed toward resolving visual problems which interfere with reading, learning and educational instruction.

The first step in any Vision Therapy program is a comprehensive vision examination. Following a thorough evaluation, Dr. Jensen can advise the candidate as to whether Vision Therapy would be appropriate treatment.

In-office Vision Therapy is supervised by optometric vision care professionals and various types of treatment devices are used (and some are regulated medical devices), such as:

corrective lenses (regulated medical devices);

therapeutic lenses (regulated medical devices);

prism lenses (regulated medical devices);

optical filters;

eye patches or occluders

electronic targets with timing mechanisms;

computer software;

vestibular (balance) equipment

visual-motor-sensory integration training devices

Looking after your eyes

Surveys show that people fear losing their sight more than any other sense. Yet those of us with good vision often find it so hard to imagine life without it that we tend to take it for granted. The mere fact that around 120 people every day lose their sight through injury or disease in the UK alone means that we should be anything but complacent when it comes to looking after our sight.

Here are some ways you can do just that.

Eye Safety

Almost 50 per cent of eye injuries occur in the home and a staggering 20,000 eye accidents a year – one every 25 minutes! – happen as a direct result of DIY.

Occupational risks to eye health can be less obvious. For example, prolonged use of a computer screen can result in what has become known as computer vision syndrome (CVS).


As for sports, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) estimates that squash balls alone are responsible for 2,000 hospital admissions in the UK each year.
