Life today is full of dynamics and movement, constantly developing technologies and heaps of information surrounding us. Everything changes, including the needs of our eyes. And although the mobile phone is not one of the latest innovations in the technological world, the impact it has on the eyes is modern.
Digital glasses came in with the need for the eyes to see clearly enough, both at a distance and at a distance of about 30 cm. Until this moment for close reading was reported distance from 40-50 см. This is the normal distance at which people place a book.
But with the increased use of mobile phones, which we look at almost all day, the need for a closer reading distance appeared - about 30 cm. Our eyes have to work hard, and all this load affects our accommodation (the ability of the eye to focus from near to far).
Staring at the small print on the phone overloads the eye muscles. Hence the need for glasses to reduce fatigue and ease the eyes.
After a certain age approx 35-40 years, under certain conditions, the so-called appears digital fatigue. It causes blurred vision, headaches, dry eyes, tension, etc. The light emitted by digital devices also contributes to this. It affects our sense of day and night and prompts us to stay awake.
For example, it is extremely harmful to scroll through the news feed on social networks before sleep. The presence of glare puts additional strain on the eyes.
Hence, we conclude that it is better to read a book by candlelight instead of watching a mobile phone at night.
In addition to the close distance from which we view digital devices, the angle at which we view them matters. As a consequence of inappropriate body position, back, shoulder and neck pain occur.
Digital glasses have a small add-on in the form of a diopter correction at the bottom of the glass. It is invisible and is part of the mass of the glass, but you will feel the difference when looking through them.
This additional adjustment, is added to your diopter for distance. Glasses are an individual product and are made to suit your needs.
