A survey conducted by the Eyecare Trust earlier in 2011 revealed that the average person in the UK now spends a staggering 3 and a half months per year looking at a screen. As a result of prolonged computer use, “screen fatigue”, ie: sore, itchy, irritated eyes or temporary blurring of vision affects 9 out of 10 computer users
Wearing moisture chamber glasses helps soothe dry eyes
Watching an image on a screen is very absorbing. When you concentrate on the screen for long periods, your blink rate slows and your eyes tend to dry out. This problem is made even worse by the drying effect of the atmosphere in centrally heated homes and air-conditioned offices.
If you regularly come home from work and watch TV or sit at a computer screen in the evenings you may experience particular problems of screen fatigue, as the eyes tend to dry out over the course of the day.
So what can be done to reduce screen fatigue?
The innovative new Tranquileyes Moisture Release glasses sold by Eyewear Accessories can help to reduce the rate at which your eyes dry out and reduce symptoms of sore, itchy eyes. They have a foam seal that insulates your eyes from the drying atmosphere, and they also have moisture capsules fitted into the frame which you soak in water and then they naturally humidify your eyes as you wear the glasses.
