Vision at the computer
|
|
| Screen work is strenuous - especially for your eyes. If
visual impairments are not corrected properly or not at all, then
screen activities quickly lead to fatigue, vision problems, tension
and headaches. Most of the time, these problems can be resolved by
spectacles that are correctly adapted for working at the PC. Studies
have shown, however, that only 5% of all spectacles wearers over the
age of 45 who regularly work on a screen wear spectacles
specifically for that purpose. |
|
The right spectacles
|
|
| For those affected by presbyopia, reading spectacles are
not enough, because they are only suitable for distance in the
close-up range up to 40 cm. ”Workplace spectacles” make more sense,
which meet the individual requirements of the respective workplace.
Special lenses like Ergo® near comfort lenses from Rodenstock are
especially well suited. They guarantee smooth vision even in the
extended close-up range. |

Additional advice for pleasant work on the screen:
|
|
| • | Look away from the screen now and then, or take small
breaks,
because short breaks help the eye muscles to relax. |
| • | Adjust the font size on the screen so that everything can
be read comfortably without any effort. |
| • | Make sure you blink regularly to avoid dry eyes. |
| • | Pay attention to correct placement of the screen,
keyboard and mouse. |
| • | Use the ergonomically correct sitting posture. |
