What are the special vision needs of VDT users?
Because the VDT screen is usually higher and at a slightly greater distance than usual reading, normal bifocals or reading glasses may not be sufficient. If one uses a VDT for many hours a day, a special pair of “computer” glasses can be tremendously helpful. Even people who normally do not need glasses may need a small correction to help them with eyestrain at prolonged VDT usage. An ophthalmologist can evaluate you for these needs and prescribe them when necessary. A comprehensive medical eye exam will also help rule out other problems that could be perceived as eyestrain.
