Computer Glasses

Computer glasses differ from normal glasses or reading glasses in a number of ways as they are designed to optimise your viewing experience based on the average distance that a computer (VDU) screen is from your eyes. During your eye test at Leightons Opticians, your optometrist will discuss issues such as computer work to establish the right vision correction if required.

Long spells of VDU work can lead to eye strain, blurred vision or other eyesight related problems and discomfort. Also, by giving your eyes more demanding tasks on computer screens, it might make you aware of an eyesight problems that you had not noticed before; at this point we would recommend you book an eye test and have one of our qualified opticians take a look at your eyes to see if you need computer glasses- remember, if you use a computer screen at work then your employer must provide you with an eye test at regular intervals and prove necessary corrective eyewear if required.

You and your employer can help your eyes by ensuring your VDU is well positioned and properly adjusted, and that the workplace lighting is suitable. Ask for an eye test if you think there is a problem with your eyesight.

If you require glasses specifically for computer use then Leightons has the perfect frame and lens combination. Whether you are looking for a value frame or a designer brand that fits perfectly with your style, we have a selection that will ensure you get the perfect pair of computer glasses.
