Protecting your eyes from digital screens

Did you know that over the last three years smartphone ownership in Australia has skyrocketed from around 11 million in 2013 to well over 15 million? And tablet ownership has almost doubled to around 12 million. This means that Australians are spending more and more time looking at digital screens.

Children can often spend up to three hours a day – extending to almost 4.5 hours for social media hungry teenagers.

As a result, you – like many others – may be experiencing eye strain:

• Tired or irritated eyes

• Blurred vision

• Headaches

• Neck and shoulder pain.

If this sounds like you or one of your family, you’ll want to make an appointment with Deanne to learn more about Eyezen and how these new, innovative digital screen protection lenses from Essilor relax and protect your eyes from digital screens. These lenses feature:

• Eyezen Focus Technology: Eyezen lenses have an enhanced lower portion of the lens, designed to ease eyestrain caused by close reading distances and viewing small text on handheld devices.

• Eyezen Light Scan Technology: This advanced technology selectively filters out 20% of harmful blue-violet light emitted from digital screens.

• Eyezen W.A.V.E. Technology: Essilor Wavefront Advanced Vision Enhancement Technology, used in manufacturing Eyezen lenses, identifies and eliminates distortion on lenses.
