Enhancing Your View

Your eyes are another window to your overall health. An early vision exam can help detect the early stages of diabetes, high blood pressure, and more. The VSP vision plans cover you and your covered dependents for routine eye exam, frames, and lenses or contacts. You can choose to visit any provider; however, you will save money when you visit an in-network provider. Find an in-network provider at vsp.com.

3 Tips to Help Provide Relief from Digital Eye Strain

How many hours a day do you spend staring at a screen? An hour? Three to four hours? More?

Today, 80% of Americans spend more than two hours each day on a digital device—and 67% use two or more devices at the same time!

And why wouldn’t they? Today’s world runs on digital. Mobile devices and computers deliver countless benefits to help us stay informed and connected. However, they can also serve up a less beneficial side effect: digital eye strain.

Many digital devices and computer monitors emit blue light. While blue light exposure by itself isn’t necessarily harmful, excessive blue light exposure may contribute to digital eye strain, which causes symptoms such as headaches, tired eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and dry eyes.

Consider the following three ways to help reduce excessive blue light exposure and combat the onset of digital eye strain symptoms.

  1. Ask the Experts – At your next annual eye exam, talk to your eye doctor about your lifestyle and ask about the best options for combating digital eye strain. Even if you don’t wear corrective lenses, some blue light coatings are available for non-prescription eyewear.
  2. Unplug Before Bed – Power down your devices before heading to bed. You may also want to consider lowering the brightness of your screen or enabling blue light filters such as night mode to help reduce the glare from your devices.
  3. Give Your Eyes a Break – Whenever you find yourself spending time looking at a digital device, be sure to take frequent breaks. Get up, stretch, and give your eyes a rest.

Defend Your Eyes

Your eye doctor can help ensure your eyes are protected—no matter your lifestyle. At your next eye appointment, be sure to discuss your lifestyle, including how much time you spend looking at screens and digital devices. They can help find the right solution for you.
