LASIK

COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME OR CVS

Did you know that glare can be more tiring than actually running a 100 m dash?
What is glare? The reflected light from screens, shiny objects, ice and water.
Usually the amount of exposure is not much or constant. Dark and polarized glasses cut off the glare and make vision better. A new and common nuisance is the constant glare from the computer screens. What can be done? Install antiglare screen or better still switch to LCD monitors. Unlike Cathode ray tube (CRT)monitors, the radiation and glare is less. Therefore they are easy on the eye.
