Low power reading glasses are hard to get online and almost impossible to find in stores, but you can have them made for you even if you don’t have a prescription.

You can get a complete pair of glasses in one of Zenni’s large selection of $6.95 frames — with the anti-glare coating you need for computer use — for less than $20 delivered. They even come with a sturdy plastic case and a cleaning cloth.

When I first started Clear Your Eyes, I couldn’t recommend a place to get inexpensive readers. I had found a pair for myself online, but I wasn’t happy with the design or the durability. That changed when I found Zenni Optical.

This is more than just a Zenni Optical review, however. This is a Zenni Optical review with step-by-step instructions for ordering your reading glasses.

Getting Ready To Order

Before you order, you’ll need to do two things.

First, determine what magnification you need. If you’ve visited an eye doctor, you may have prescription or instructions to locate reading glasses with a magnification of +0.25, +0.50 or +0.75 diopters. Whatever you need, you can get it from Zenni.

If you haven’t visited an eye doctor, you’ll have to decide for yourself what magnification level would work best to relieve your computer vision syndrome symptoms and solve whatever other eye problems you’re experiencing. For me, +0.50 diopters magnification is perfect.

Second, determine what size frames fit your face. That’s important if you want to glasses to look and feel good. Zenni measures frames in millimeters but also notes a general size on all its frames. Do you have a small, medium or large face?

For the best possible fit, measure a pair of good-fitting sunglasses or some grocery-store readers that look good on you. Zenni’s frame choices all include detailed measurements, including bridge, lens and overall frame width, the length of the earpieces and the lens height.

Ordering From Zenni Optical

Here are step-by-step instructions for ordering from Zenni Optical.

1. Go to Zenni by clicking the button below. It will open in a new tab or window.

2. Choose the frame style you want. Narrow your choices using the choices to the left. A complete pair of glasses starts at just $6.95. You can even upload a photo and virtually try on your frames. This works very well. (The picture shows the first pair of glasses I ordered. They’re style number 730621, intended for larger male faces.)

3. Fill out the order form. If you have a prescription, fill in the details from it. Many of the fields on the order form match the fields on your written prescription. Whether you have a prescription or not, here’s how to complete each line:

• Prescription Type: Single Vision
• PD – Pupillary Distance: Enter yours if you know it. This is the distance between the centers of your pupils in millimeters. It might be on your prescription or an optician may have told it to you in the past. The number isn’t important for reading glasses, so if you don’t know your PD, choose Single PD and enter the most common measurement, 63.
• Lens: Choose 1.50 or 1.57, the no-charge options. This doesn’t matter for reading glasses either.
• AR Anti-Reflective Coating: I recommend adding the anti-glare coating. It costs a little extra, but it’s worth it.
• Lens Tint Choices: No tint is needed, but you may find that a 10 percent tint also helps you view a computer monitor longer with fewer eye strain symptoms. If you add a tint, consider choosing blue or gray. That’s what many people recommend.
• Fill in your magnification in diopters in the sphere column. For example, if you want +0.50 low power reading glasses — what some people call “fifties” — choose +0.50 under OD SPH and OS SPH. Put zeros in all other fields.
• Save the prescription in your account, choose the quantity and click the “Add to Cart” button.

4. Place your order. Once you confirm your choices, click “Checkout” to provide your name, address and payment information to complete the order.

Simple reading glasses in $6.95 frames with the anti-glare coating should cost less than $20 including shipping.

It’s that simple. While you have to take a moment to choose frames that fit your face and enter your magnification requirements, ordering from Zenni Optical couldn’t be much easier. And with their wide variety of frame choices, they’ll have something perfect for you.

There’s No Reason To Wait

I put off ordering low power reading glasses even after I got a prescription from an optometrist, but that was a mistake. Combined with some eye drops and a little more attention to the health of my eyes, I’ve been able to ease my dry eyes, computer vision syndrome symptoms and other eye problems.

I wish this Zenni Optical review had been available when I was looking for a place to get low power reading glasses. I found very little information and no useful recommendations.

My research led me to a company that offers great products at very affordable prices. I hope this Zenni Optical review means you’ll act now and get the glasses you need to see better, feel better and work more productively.

Here’s some information about why people who don’t need magnification might wear glasses — along with some details about low power reading glasses for people like me who see pretty well but need some extra help to stay comfortable at the computer all day.

Reason To Wear Glasses When You Don’t Need Them

Actually, the title of this section is a bit tongue-in-cheek because people who wear unmagnified reading glasses often need or want them for another reason. Here are a few possible reasons:

• Tint. Some people are sensitive to light and are more comfortable when wearing tinted glasses.
• Glare protection. Computer usage can be hard on even the best eyes, but reducing glare with either a slight tint or an anti-reflective coating can reduce eye strain, computer vision syndrome and dry, scratchy eyes for some people.
• Wind protection. Wind from a fan or an air conditioning system can dry eyes, especially those that are already dry from the infrequent blinking that computer use encourages. Wearing clear glasses or the lowest power reading glasses available can provide dry eye relief.
• Cosmetic purposes. Some people think they look better with glasses, and others wear them to hide bags or dark circles under their eyes. Still others wear glasses to cover up asymmetrical eyebrows, scars around the eyes or deformities.

One of the least expensive ways to get clear or tint-only eyeglasses is to order them from Zenni Optical. Simply set all the magnification numbers to zero. Because Zenni has nice, sleek frames starting at $6.95, you can get a complete pair of glasses with anti-glare coating (which I recommend) delivered to your home for just over $15 in many cases. They also offer tints in several color choices and percentages of tint.

The Lowest Power Reading Glasses You Can Get

Optometrists often prescribe low power reading glasses to people with computer vision syndrome, dry eyes and other eye-strain symptoms even if they can see perfectly or fairly well. These readers can dramatically relieve symptoms from the moment you first put them on, and I know that first hand. (Read my computer vision syndrome story here.)

In most cases, +0.25 reading glasses, +0.50 reading glasses and +0.75 reading glasses are all considered low power reading glasses. The problem is that you can’t get anything below a magnification of +1.00 in drugstores or malls, and those are usually hard to find. Powers of +1.25, +1.50 and above are easy to find anywhere readers are sold.

For the lowest power reading glasses, you’ll have to have them custom made. I recommend Zenni Optical once again because the company makes high-quality glasses to your specifications for unbelievable prices. In many cases, you can get the reading glasses you need for less than $20, sometimes a lot less. I hope you will visit their website by clicking this link and see what they can do for you.

They Could Be Right For You

If you think you need reading glasses, you probably do. And if an optometrist has recommend some of the lowest power reading glasses but you aren’t sure how much good they could really do, you owe it to yourself to try them.

You could be surprised how much difference a pair of unmagnified or low power reading glasses will make in your life.

Don’t be fooled into paying too much for Blink Tears Eye Drops. The price can vary from store to store and from website to website, but here’s some information that will help keep you from paying too much.

I bought the first bottle of Blink Eye Drops I ever used at a Target store in Fort Worth, Texas. The standard 0.5 ounce bottle was just over $6. I use the Blink Tears formula for mild to moderate dry eyes, not the gel formula for more severe dry eyes problems.

In my experience since then, Walmart and Target usually charge about the same price for drops, so I’ve picked up bottles at both places.

I was shocked when I visited a local Walmart in November 2011 and saw a new price: $9.12. Could the price have really increased that much in just a few weeks? That’s a 30 percent increase over what I usually paid.

I was pleased to find that the Target store across the street offered the drops for $6.14 on the same day.

Even worse, however, was my shopping trip to Walmart in May 2012. Blink Tears had gone up to almost $11. On that day, Target was offering the drops for $7.49, a big savings once again.

If I hadn’t been a repeat buyer of Blink Tears, I wouldn’t have known how much they should cost, and I would have paid several dollars more than necessary for these very useful drops.

I thought there could have been a major Blink Tears price increase when I first noticed the out-of-control pricing in my area, but I was very glad there hadn’t been. I depend on these drops every day that I spend looking at a computer monitor. And since that’s my job, I do that at least four days a week.

A Better Idea

I’ve learned my lesson though. There’s no reason to buy Blink Tears at any local retail stores. The online price for these dry eye drops is usually even less. You can also find larger bottles as well as individual preservative-free vials online if you’re interested.

Even when the price comes close to the same as in local stores, there are no crowds to fight and no worrying that the product will be out of stock, outdated or priced incorrectly when you order online.

Still Working For Me

I have an admission: I’ve never tried any other brand of dry eyes drops. I used saline drops and allergy drops as well as artificial tears, but when I visited an optometrist, he told me those drops wouldn’t stay in my eyes long enough to do any good. He recommended Blink Tears, and they worked so well I’ve never tried anything else.

I wrote about Blink Tears here at Clear Your Eyes before, but when I recently discovered the pricing discrepancy, I decided to mention them again and try to keep you from being ripped off.

Blink Tears Eye Drops work well enough that I would pay much more for them, but don’t tell the manufacturer that. By making smart choices and staying educated about current prices, I intend to pay as little for them as possible.

If your eye doctor has recommended low power reading glasses or you’ve decided on your own that they’re what you need to solve your tired eyes, the next thing you have to do is find some. You may have already found out that your local drugstore or discount store doesn’t have what you need.

Bricks-and-mortar stores seem to only stock reading glasses for people who need strong magnification. Few companies make lower-power readers, so few stores bother to track them down and stock them.

Here’s some information for you — including the most important information of all: how to find what you need.

What Are Low Power Reading Glasses?

If you’re just starting to experience problems seeing things close up or you’re having a problem with eye strain when you spend long hours doing tasks like reading or using a computer, you probably need some low power readers.

These are just like the reading glasses sold at drugstores and bookstores, but they’re not as strong.

At the stores in your area, you probably won’t find anything available with a magnification less than +1.50 diopters. In some stores, you can get +1.25 readers, and a few even stock +1.00 reading glasses.

If you need +0.25, +0.50 or +0.75 diopter reading glasses, however, you have two choices. You can order them online from one of the very few companies that sell them or you can have them made.

Ordering Ready-Made Low Power Reading Glasses Online

You can order regular reading glasses from a variety of online sources, but I haven’t been able to find any reputable company that regularly stocks ready-made low power reading glasses. (I’ll update this page with the information when I do.)

When I try online searches, for example, they often leads to a frustrating array of links for reading glasses that don’t fit the bill. Have you found the same thing?

Until I have a good source for ready-made reading glasses to recommend to you, your best option is to have what you need custom made. The prices online are very reasonable, and ordering is very easy. Plus, you can choose whatever style of frames you want and customize other things about the glasses too.

Having Low Power Reading Glasses Made

Just like any kind of glasses, low power readers can be made to order. A prescription is not required.

You don’t have to go to the mall or a local department store to order your glasses, however. No matter what kind of glasses you and your family need, you’ll find a better price online than you will at any store in your area.

In the case of low power reading glasses, the price you pay for having them made is about the same as what you’d pay to buy a high-quality pair off the rack anyway.

I recommend Zenni Optical for custom eyeware. The company’s products are of the highest quality and here’s what’s even better: a complete pair of glasses is available for just $6.95. No one can beat that deal for professionally made glasses delivered to your home.

Even if you don’t have a written prescription, that’s okay. Simply put in your required magnification — for me that’s +0.50 diopters — in the “sphere” column, usually the first column on the form. The online order form also requires your PD, the distance between the centers of your pupils. This isn’t important for reading glasses, so just enter 63, the most common distance, if you don’t know your number.

Confused about how to order? Don’t worry. I’ve created a Zenni Optical review page with simple ordering instructions.

It’s Important To Do Something

Whatever path your take to get the glasses you need, do something right away. Every moment you delay is another moment you won’t feel your best or see your best. And it means another day of not getting as much done as you’d like.

Getting the low power reading glasses you need may seem like a hassle, but by ordering from Zenni Optical, much of the perceived hassle is eliminated. And I know first hand how much they can help. (Read my story to learn more about my experience with computer vision syndrome.)

The help you need to see better and feel better is worth a few hassles, but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to get the low power reading glasses you need.

The term doesn’t always mean the same thing, but here’s some useful information that will help you decide if computer glasses could help relieve the blurriness, discomfort and dryness caused by spending hours in front of a computer monitor.

Not every pair of glasses labeled “computer glasses” is worth considering, but many of them can help with computer eye strain and related problems.

Tints

In some cases, computer glasses have a yellow or blue tint — or perhaps some other color. This tint can range from very slight to almost as dramatic as sunglasses.

Manufacturers usually say the tint reduces UV rays, adjusts the color spectrum to make the screen easier to view for long periods or simply dims the intensity of the monitor.

Some computer glasses even have coatings that can’t be seen at all, but makers claim they still reduce the harmful effects of certain kinds and intensities of light.

Simple anti-glare coating, available from all eyeglasses manufacturers including my preferred vendor Zenni Optical, is also touted as helping improve computer eye problems.

In my experience, tinted computer glasses work well in reducing eye strain, and so does anti-glare coating. The low power reading glasses I use at home have a slight blue tint. The ones I use with my laptop on the road have Zenni Optical’s anti-glare coating and seem to work very well also.

Magnification

You may be surprised to learn that some computer glasses aren’t magnified at all.

If you don’t have poor vision in general, one school of thought suggests that a tint alone will alleviate your eye symptoms, so magnification isn’t necessarily needed. In addition, any sort of glasses will help keep wind from fans and air vents out of your eyes, and this can reduce symptoms of dry eyes.

Another school of thought suggest that everyone — even those with perfect vision — can benefit from some magnification when they use a computer hour after hour. That seems likely to me, but unmagnified computer glasses may work fine for younger users.

Those differing opinions are why it’s important to decide whether you want your computer glasses to provide magnification. If you aren’t sure, I suggest you choose ones with at least a slight magnification. This can be +1.00 diopters or less or as much as +3.50, just like regular reading glasses.

Styling

Glasses for computer use vary greatly in styling.

Some look and work like regular prescription glasses or reading glasses. Others are designed to look cool, fancy or geeky — and may actually look more like sunglasses.

At least one company makes an insert designed to slip between you and your glasses. Many others make clip-on tinted glasses for computer use that flip up when you need to work on something else.

There’s really no benefit to one style over another. It’s simply a matter of personal taste.

Try Them And You’ll See

At first the idea of special computer glasses may seem a little strange to you. Why would they be necessary?

But if you think about it, using a computer requires focusing your eyes at an unusual distance for a long period of time — and looking at a glowing display. All those things put stress on eyes. It’s no wonder we get eye strain.

Computer glasses make sense because they prevent some of the stress that computer use puts on our eyes. I recommend them, I use them and I hope you’ll give them a try.

Isn’t it time for a little relief?

I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to continue working as a freelance writer — a job a love — because my eyes seemed to be failing me.

They weren’t failing, however. They were just crying out for attention. To be more precise, actually, they were so dry they weren’t crying at all.

By the time I finally went to an optometrist, only 20 minutes at the computer would cause my eyes to hurt so much I couldn’t continue my work. My eyes were so dry from not blinking enough during my work that I was in serious pain.

In addition, the over-the-counter allergy medications I was taking every day for other symptoms were helping with my congestion and headaches, but they were also drying my eyes, making things even worse.

I have a family history of dry eyes and of more serious eye problems, too, so I was really scared by the time I finally went to the eye doctor.

Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong with my eyes.

The eye doctor said many of his patients visit him looking for the same kind of help I needed.

Better Than Most

I was very fortunate because I started with perfect vision.

Before I started experiencing blurriness and discomfort from dry eyes and computer vision syndrome, I could always see perfectly. In the months just before my problem got so bad I had to get help, I had noticed objects at some distances weren’t as clear as they once were, but I still started in a really good place.

Having good vision doesn’t save you from computer vision syndrome, however.

Computer screens are often located at a distance that’s hard for us to deal with. Our eyes are trained from an early age to read up close and to view the rest of the world from a distance. But computer screens are often just a few inches too far away for our close-up vision to deal with them and too close to properly engage our distance vision.

My good vision was strained because I was spending hours each day doing something that’s very hard for eyes to do. It’s no wonder that I was having problems.

My Solution

My eye problem isn’t characterized as serious, but it was debilitating to me. I simply couldn’t get any work done because I couldn’t look at the computer.

The eye doctor fully tested my eyes and had some good news: I had a very common problem that was easily treatable. Can you imagine how much of a relief that was to me?

I needed +0.50 diopter low power reading glasses, not available at drugstores because the power is so low, plus some lubricating drops for my dry eyes. He recommended Blink Tears, and now, so do I.

Also, I later learned about tinted computer glasses that further reduce eye strain.

Since I also have allergies, I’ve found that occasional use of allergy eye drops — when my eyes are especially red or gritty in the corners — helps too. The eye doctor didn’t mention those to me, but they’ve been useful to me nonetheless.

Other Steps

In addition to the glasses — which I use only at the computer, not even to read — and the drops, I’ve made a few changes in the way I work.

When I’m proofreading written material on my screen, I expand the image size to “page width” view so I see larger text. That lessens my eye strain and has also improved my proofreading skills.

When I need to read a long document on a web page, I sometimes use the web browser’s built in functions to increase the font size.

I also take more frequent breaks than before, making sure I focus on things at long distances during my breaks. It’s not enough to just rest. Actually trying to bring distant objects into focus relaxes eyes that are strained from too much work at a single distance.

It All Works Together

This site is proof that my treatment plan for computer vision syndrome and dry eyes works. I made this site to share what I’ve learned, but I couldn’t have stayed at the computer long enough to write these pages if I hadn’t found the help I needed.

Something similar could work for you.

Because I took action, I’m back to writing sites like this one and doing other productive and enjoyable tasks at the computer monitor.

Like me, you may find that you don’t have to feel bad or experience vision problems every time you sit down at a computer screen. You can do the things you want and need to do without pain, discomfort or blurriness if you take the right steps.

There are many brands of eye drops on the market, but I’ll tell you which brand my optometrist recommended to me — and why he’s sold on them.

Like my optometrist, I recommend Blink Tears Lubricating Eye Drops for Mild-Moderate Dry Eye. While there is a Blink product for contact lenses and even a gel for severely dry eyes, the drops for mild to moderate dry eye work for me. They could work for you too. Be sure, however, that you don’t pay too much for them.

Why Artificial Tears Don’t Work

Have you tried one of the products from the drugstore called “artificial tears”? Were you disappointed?

Someone may have recommend that you try saline eye drops or artificial tears to relieve your dry eyes. You may have even found that they worked for a while, but they stopped working as your symptoms worsened or they only worked for a few minutes.

The problem with artificial tears is that they don’t sta last very long and must be reapplied every few minutes to be effective. If you have a very mild case of dry eyes, they may be enough for you, but over time, the condition can worsen to the point that saline and artificial tears don’t help.

You need something stronger.

And you need something that stays in your eyes to help protect and moisten them longer.

All Lubricating Eye Drops Are Not The Same

To get the kind of long-lasting relief from dry, computer eyes you need, lubricating eye drops are the first thing many eye doctors recommend. These drops contain a special ingredient that stays in the eye to remoisten your eye every time you blink.

There’s a problem, however: The thick, oily substance in many lubricating eye drops makes your vision blurry. If you’re struggling with eye strain or the effects of aging on your eyes, the last think you need is more blurriness.

For people with dry eyes caused from something other than computer usage who never do closeup work, the oily drops may effectively relieve their symptoms, and they may not notice too much blurriness. In fact, their eye doctors may recommend one of the thick brands.

For those of us who must use a computer several hours each day, though, even a little blurriness can be unbearable and make getting our work done impossible.

I Recommend What My Eye Doctor Recommends

My eye doctor wasn’t surprised when I told him artificial tears drops didn’t work very well for me. They don’t work for many of his patients with CVS and dry eye symptoms bad enough to visit a doctor, he said.

He showed me a shelf full of eye drop brands. He and his patients have tried them all. Then he let me in on a secret: They all work for some people and to some degree.

But my dry eyes were because of computer vision syndrome, and I needed drops that would lubricate my eyes without making the computer monitor look blurrier. He suggested Blink Tears drops.

They worked well from the first day I used them.

Keep Them Handy… Or Not

Even with effective eye drops, you have the reapply them throughout the day, especially if you continually strain and overuse your eyes (like I do).

Because taking frequent breaks also helps relieve many eye symptoms, I keep my Blink Tears drops in the next room from my computer so I have to get up to use them, forcing myself to take a break. This quick break is also a great time to rest my eyes by focusing on objects at varying distances, have a glass of water to help keep me hydrated (which also helps with dry eye symptoms) and perhaps make a quick call.

If you might find this discourages you from using your Blink eye drops, you might prefer to keep them at the computer where you can reach for them every time your feel your symptoms returning.

You Can Feel Better

My computer eye strain problems combined with dry eyes made me feel terrible. Low-intensity headaches, neck pain from worrying about my eyes and even scaly eyelids from touching my eyes too much had begun to make getting work done impossible.

Combined with some low power reading glasses, Blink Tears dramatically reduced the symptoms of my computer-related dry eyes and eye strain.

They can work for you too.

Since you’re on the computer anyway, order Blink Tears now from a reputable marketplace like Amazon. You’ll feel better from the moment you put them in.

If you’re like many people, you stare at your monitor even longer than that — for four, five, six or more hours every day. And when you’re concentrating on something, you forget to blink.

Lots of factors contribute to computer vision syndrome, but making several small changing in your computer usage habits can lessen or eliminate your tired eyes, blurred vision and other problems.

Here’s some information about computer vision syndrome — sometimes called CVS — followed by some tips for dealing with it.

What Is Computer Vision Syndrome?

Simply put, computer vision syndrome is a treatable, temporary condition that happens when you look at your computer’s monitor for a long time.

You probably already know what the symptoms are, but here’s a list anyway:

• Pain or a strained feeling in the eye
• General redness or prominent blood vessels in the whites of the eye
• Problems focusing on other things after looking at the computer
• Dry, irritated eyes
• Scaly or painful eyelids (caused by rubbing your eyes to aleviate other symptoms)
• Headaches or neck pain
• Blurry vision

How To Reduce CVS

While it’s the act of looking at the computer itself that causes the condition, a number of things make it worse — things you may be able to change to help reduce the problem. These include glare on the screen, bright overhead lights, air blowing in your face from vents or fans and a monitor placed too high.

First, consider the position of your monitor. Experts suggest that placing your monitor just below eye level could reduce eye strain. Reposition your screen, if you can, to see if that helps reduce symptoms.

Reducing the wattage of overhead lights or turning them off in favor of lamps may help too. That could reduce glare on your monitor. Generally, modern flat-screen monitors glare much less than traditional tube screens, so upgrading to a newer monitor can reduce or eliminate glare.

Adjusting fans and air vents so that air passes over your chest, abdomen and legs — where it does the most good for keeping you cool anyway — is also a great idea. Air blowing into your eyes can cause irritation in just a few minutes and can make other eye symptoms seem worse.

3 More Steps For Controlling Computer Eye Strain

Here are thee more things you can do to control computer eye strain:

1. See an eye doctor.

Most people don’t like to hear it, but one of the quickest ways to get relief from computer vision syndrome is to visit an optometrist.

If you’ve been wondering what’s wrong with your eyes for a while, the idea may be weighing on your mind. Visiting an eye doctor could put your fears to rest and put you on the road toward feeling better. My eye symptoms were certainly worrying me. Read my story to see what I did to reduce my CVS problem.

You may need prescription glasses, new contact lenses or — as was the case for me — low power reading glasses and eye drops to reduce dryness.

2. Consider reading glasses.

Whether you visit an eye doctor or not, low power reading glasses or computer reading glasses could be part of your solution to tired, irritated eyes. You may even need stronger reading glasses.

Low power reading glasses aren’t as strong as the ones you find in most local stores. With magnifications of just +0.25, +0.50 or +0.75 diopters, they’re perfect for people who see well but overuse their close-up vision. You may be surprised how much difference such a small magnification can make. The glasses also help protect your eyes from wind and glare.

Unfortunately, low power reading glasses can be hard to find, so I’ve created an entire page of information about what they are and how you can locate some for yourself.

Computer reading glasses are very similar, but they’re often tinted to reduce the impact of UV rays on your eyes. They may or may not be magnified. I’ve also created a page about them, located here.

3. Try lubricating eye drops.

You may have tried simple saline drops or artificial tears. If you’re like me, you’ve found they make your tired, dry eyes feel good for a few minutes but do very little to help your computer-related eye problems over the long term.

There are better products available.

Lubricating eye drops contain special ingredients that coat your eyes every time you blink. The trick is finding a product that’s strong enough to lessen your symptoms but does not leave such a thick film in your eyes that it causes additional bluriness.

For me, Blink Eye Drops did the trick. I’ve created a page about them, too, and it’s located here.

You Can Find Relief

Eye problems related to computer use can get so bad that your eyes hurt even when you’re away from the computer, but there are ways to lessen or eliminate the symptoms, making you feel better and work more productively.

Tired, red, irritated eyes don’t have to be part of your life even if you use a computer for several hours each day. Computer vision syndrome is a condition you can treat yourself and that an eye doctor can help you treat.

Once you take the few simple actions I’ve outlined here and follow any additional advice you get from your eye doctor, you can feel better all day, every day, whether you spend it looking at a computer or not.

To put it another way, a few simple changes can clear your eyes.
