Computer Vision
Computer Vision Solutions in Maryland & Virginia
Screens have become an unavoidable part of daily life — whether it’s a full workday at a computer, hours of scrolling on a phone, or evenings spent on a tablet — and our eyes are paying the price. At RHOÉL Premium Optical, we offer specialized lens coatings designed to protect against the potentially harmful blue light emitted by modern electronic devices, along with diagnostic testing and treatment for the eye strain that comes with extended screen use. Even patients who have never experienced vision problems before often notice symptoms of computer vision syndrome after just two or more hours of continuous screen time. Left unaddressed, even mild symptoms can worsen over time and contribute to other vision problems. Dr. Krimigis and Dr. Vendittis, at our Frederick, Purcellville, Ocean City, and Cambridge offices, can help identify what’s driving your discomfort and build a treatment plan around it. Signs include:
- Blurry Vision
- Eye Strain and Discomfort
- Headaches
- Dry, Scratchy Eyes
- Neck and/or Shoulder Pain
Even if your symptoms are mild, they can worsen and cause other vision problems if not addressed. One of our optometrists, Dr. Krimigis or Dr Vendittis, can help.
Treating Computer Vision
RHOÉL Premium Optical offers specialized lens coatings designed to reduce exposure to harmful blue light from computer monitors, tablets, and smartphone screens. Even patients with no prior history of eye problems can develop computer vision syndrome after just two or more hours of daily screen time — and our optometrists are equipped to both diagnose and effectively treat it, whether the cause is your job, your habits, or an underlying vision issue you didn’t know you had.
- Blue Light Protective Lens Coatings – Specialized coatings that reduce exposure to high-energy visible light from digital screens.
- Digital Eye Strain & Headache Treatment – Targeted care for the discomfort and headaches associated with prolonged screen use.
- Dry, Scratchy Eye Relief – Treatment for the reduced blink rate and eye dryness common among heavy screen users.
- Computer-Specific Prescription Lenses – Lenses optimized for the intermediate viewing distance of a computer screen, distinct from a standard glasses or reading prescription.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Computer Vision Syndrome
The severity and duration of computer vision syndrome symptoms depend on several factors: how long you spend looking at a screen, your posture, ambient lighting, glare, monitor angle, and whether you have other diagnosed or undiagnosed vision problems. Patients who already deal with astigmatism, farsightedness, presbyopia, age-related vision changes, or diabetic eye conditions often find their computer-related symptoms are more pronounced — even if they already wear prescription glasses or contacts. That’s because many standard eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions simply aren’t designed to address the specific visual demands of a computer screen. With a combination of the proper eyewear and self-care, you can minimize computer eye syndrome and other modern-day vision problems. Contact us for an appointment today.
