Computers & Eyes

 

VDU's - visually
demanding on the eye

Many people are concerned about the increase in computer screen work and their ability to see. It is without doubt an exacting task for the eyes.
Will the computer weaken my eyes?

   

Many people will have slight inefficiencies within their visual system, but be unaware that their vision or focussing has a potential weakness.

 

It is not until that person becomes involved in a visually demanding task that these latent problems become manifest. The 2 classic tasks that do this are computers (VDU) and night driving.

 

The VDU thus doesn't cause the deterioration, but can make you more aware of any slight problems with your eyes. It is also important to remember that the focusing system weakens with age.
