| Summary: |
Modern working
environments present a significant challenge to ocular
comfort, particularly among contact lenses wearers. This
article looks at the effects of long hours of computer
use and everyday exposure to heated and air-conditioned
surroundings on the eyes and suggests some useful
management strategies. Think of an environment likely to
test the resilience of a contact lens wearer and
locations with extremes of temperature, humidity or
altitude may spring to mind. But the reality is that
adverse conditions can be experienced much closer to
home. Modern working environments and lifestyles present
increasing challenges to the eyes and, in particular, to
comfortable contact lens wear. Ocular symptoms
associated with prolonged use of computer monitors and
small screens include dry and irritated eyes, eyestrain,
blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. Headaches and
other, non-ocular, symptoms such as neck and/or backache
may also be reported. |
