Most of us now spend the better part of the day looking at something less than an arm’s length away. That sustained near focus — not the screen itself — is what leaves eyes tired, dry and slow to refocus by evening.
Start with an accurate prescription
An uncorrected or out-of-date prescription is the most common cause of screen fatigue. Even a small amount of astigmatism, left uncorrected, makes your eyes work harder at every distance. An in-clinic refraction is the first step before choosing any lens feature.
Features worth asking about
- 01Anti-reflective coating
Reduces glare from screens and overhead lighting, which genuinely improves comfort over long sessions.
- 02Near-support or office lenses
Give a little extra focusing help at screen distance, easing the load on your eyes through the afternoon.
- 03Blue-light filtering
Useful for some people’s comfort, but not a substitute for good habits and the right prescription.
Our optometrists will ask how you actually work — screen size, distance, hours — before recommending a lens. Pair it with the 20-20-20 habit: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
