Computer Vision Syndrome

 

I was suffering with headache, neck pain, blurred and double visions and of all things; eye twitching.  I put it down to stress at work but when I was looking for vision optometry in North Vancouver I made an eye exam appointment with Lynn Valley Optometry.  As soon as I described my vision problems to them, they probed and asked about other symptoms before diagnosing Computer Vision Syndrome.

I learned that it can happen to people who use a computer all day or for some it can happen after just a few hours of computer work.  Research suggests that as many as 90 percent of people who use computers in their work, home and schools will suffer some or all of the symptoms.  It is actually getting worse because people use a computer at work all day and go home and get on their computers at home.

The eye strain from computers is because the screen images are created by illuminated pixels and this is harder on the eyes than looking at images on paper with ink.  Your posture also has a great deal to do with the muscle strain and headaches which are the classic signs of Computer Vision Syndrome. Improper light, dry air and poor workstation design also contribute to the problem.

Help for Dyslexia

I am so thankful for the iTherapy service at Lynn Valley Optometry.  Last fall, my grandson started school and was having difficulty reading.  My daughter talked to his teacher and the teacher suspected dyslexia.  Vancouver school teachers are familiar with the symptoms.  After a medical exam to rule out a physical problem, he was diagnosed with dyslexia.  The doctor suggested additional treatment in a private setting. My daughter remembered that she had a friend who had taken their child to Lynn Valley Optometry for treatment of a lazy eye so she called for a consultation.  The staff there was great and set up a program for my grandson and he began to improve almost immediately.  They explained that each person with dyslexia in Vancouver should have an individual plan created for them.  This is exactly what the iTherapy service is. I am pleased to report that my grandson is doing much better … he loves going to school and reading and the teacher reports he is really improving.  It was very interesting to learn that dyslexia often runs in families and sometimes a reading disability can be diagnosed as ADD or ADHD.  Dyslexia or DRD (Developmental reading disorder) occurs when there is a problem in the areas of the brain that interpret language.  It is not a vision problem, but once the problem is discovered, vision therapy helps the learning related vision problems.

Wow – The road signs got bigger

I confess, my eyesight had been waning, but I didn’t want to admit it.  After all, it wasn’t me, signs were getting smaller, and newspapers were printing in smaller type to save space or something. I didn’t need glasses, I had perfect eyesight.

But while driving past a street because I couldn’t read the name in time from a safe distance to turn, it made me acknowledge that it was time.  It had been years since in visited the optometrist in Vancouver.

I asked some friends for a referral and they told me they use Lynn Valley Optometry and assured me they were the best in vision and optometry in North Vancouver.

After setting up an appointment for an eye exam, I arrived at their very modern offices.  This is not what I remembered from my last time at an optometrist in Vancouver.  Lynn Valley Optometry not only looks state-of-the-art, they are.  I couldn’t believe how comfortable the patient lounge was – they offer complementary Wi-Fi and latte, espresso and Americano coffees.

The trend continues with their doctors, they are very attentive and use the latest technology to suggest solutions for your vision care.  My new glasses look great and it is funny how the road signs have gotten bigger and the newspapers are printing in larger type.
