Taking the headache out of eye care

Computers and laptops – the tools of work for thousands – are the cause of regular, persistent, headaches; blurred vision; neck pain and dry eye problems for many.

Posing a serious health risk for employees, thousands of working days are lost each year through Computer Vision Syndrome, a form of RSI of the eyes, resulting from sitting in a fixed position, often with the head at an unnatural angle, and looking at a screen for several hours each day.

Increasingly recognised as a problem of the modern working world, the resulting lost working days can be greatly reduced with regular eye care and correctly dispensed glasses. Every employee who habitually uses a computer at work is entitled to eye care funded by their employer and appropriate glasses which can solve many of the problems of long hours at the computer.

Occupational lenses and lightweight frames encourage the head to be held in the correct position, rather than the crooked neck angle, which can restrict blood supply. As well as picking up a host of potential health problems, regular eye examinations will ensure that your team is enjoying the very best of vision.
