Blue Light Glasses

It is rare to go a whole day without looking at a computer, tablet, or phone, exposing our eyes to the blue light emitting from the screens. Starting at blue light for extended periods can cause computer vision syndrome, a type of eyestrain. Symptoms of computer vision syndrome include dry eyes, headaches, redness, and blurry vision. 

An optometrist on our team at Greenwich Eye Care in Old Greenwich, CT, is dedicated to helping treat your eyes and showing you how blue light glasses can reduce the symptoms associated with computer vision syndrome.
