Do You Need Computer Glasses? What You Need to Know
These days, computers play a significant role in both work and leisure activities, putting our eyes under increased strain. Digital Eye Strain (DES) or Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) can happen if you look at a digital screen for a long time, like your computer at work, your phone at home, or the tablet you use for reading.
Headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck pain are all familiar symptoms, but luckily there is a way to fix them: computer glasses. These special lenses are made to improve your visual comfort and lessen the negative effects of too much computer time.

How to Relieve Eye Strain
FYI: Eye Strain Relief
1. Adjust the contrast as well as the brightness on the displays, or see if there is a special setting for eye comfort.
2. Consider wearing blue-blocking eyewear. That can really help.
3. There is an application that can be downloaded called F.LUX (https://justgetflux.com/) that your IT group should be able to install that can help work in the background to help ease eye strain.
4. Make sure you are looking away from your screen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds, attempting to refocus the eyes on something 20+ feet away.
5. Consider if there is any direct light source that is uncovered that is within your line of vision that could be causing strain.
6. Contact an eye professional for a checkup.

Ergonomic Principles
FYI: Health Warning Over Standing Desks
A new study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology examined the link between sitting, standing, and stationary time, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and orthostatic circulatory disease. The results, at first glance, appear like a blow to the appeal of standing desks – but there’s much more to it than that.
