Imagine spending more than 50 days staring at a
computer screen. According to researchers, the average
computer user does just that each year, spending 950
hours at work and an additional 300 hours at home
sitting in front of a computer screen.
One of the unfortunate and potentially harmful
consequences of spending so much time at work,
school, and in the home in front of your computer is
eyestrain. According to the National Institute for
Occupational Health and Safety, approximately 75
percent of all computer users suffer from eyestrain.
Staring into a computer screen for even just a few hours
a day strains the eyes, leading to what the American
Optometric Association has defined as Computer Vision
Syndrome, or CVS. One of the leading causes of
eyestrain is improper lighting which produces glare.
"Doctors believe that eliminating glare from your
workspace and having the proper light can have a
significant affect on reducing the symptoms of CVS,
such as, headaches, blurred vision and dry eyes.
Unlike other products, which claim to treat the
symptoms of eyestrain, Eclipse Computer Lights address eyestrain at its source by eliminating glare
produced from poor lighting.
