Importance of Eye Exams with Today's Technology

Our Optometrists in Wichita Explains the Importance of Eye Exams with Today's Technology

Healthy eyes play an important role in your lifestyle and activities. When you use a variety of technological tools, like a smartphone, computer, and tablet, you expose your eyes to different types of light waves. Taking measures to protect your eyes with an eye exam in Wichita helps you address potential complications.

Why Consider an Eye Exam with Wichita Optometry?

Getting an eye exam with Wichita Optometry allows you to address potential problems before it complicates your lifestyle. At our clinic, we check on the health of your eyes as well as the impact of technology on your vision. Depending on the way you use technology and your lifestyle, our optometrists in Wichita may recommend specific types of lenses or glasses to protect against certain types of light waves. We also focus on identifying problems before they worsen for better health and treatment.

Impact of Technology on Your Eyes

The way technological tools impact your eyes may vary based on your usage and the type of devices you use on a regular basis. For example, a computer-related career may impact your vision and cause computer vision. Computers and electronic devices like a tablet cause digital eye strain. 

The signs of the problem include:

  • Burning or itching eyes
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Inability to focus
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Neck strain and pain

The strain stems from the blue and violet waves of light put out by electronic devices. It harms an individual's eyes and may cause severe fatigue or changes to your vision over time.

Ways our Wichita Optometrists Help with Eye Strain

Our Wichita optometrists will evaluate your eyes and help protect against eye strain by identifying the potential risks. We may recommend specific glasses and lenses to protect your eyes when you use a computer or other electronic device. Our team also provides an eye exam to check for complications, like cataracts or glaucoma, which may develop as you age and worsen due to the eye strain caused by electronic devices.

We focus on addressing the potential problems associated with computer vision and limiting your risks. Our optometrists may also recommend certain lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to electronic devices.
