Why Computer Glasses Matter
Digital screens are now a constant part of daily life. Computers, tablets, and phones force your eyes to focus at a fixed, intermediate distance for hours at a time. The human visual system was not designed for this kind of sustained near work.
The result is digital eye strain, a clinically recognized condition that affects more than 50 percent of adults who use screens for extended periods.
Common Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain
- Eye fatigue and soreness
- Headaches
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Dry, irritated eyes
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Difficulty refocusing after screen use
These symptoms are not caused by screens “damaging” the eyes. They occur because the eyes are working harder than they should, for longer than they were designed to.
Improve Your Vision. Improve Your Life.
When your eyes are comfortable, everything improves:
- Workdays feel shorter and more productive
- Focus lasts longer without discomfort
- Headaches become less frequent
- Evenings are less visually exhausting
Clear, relaxed vision reduces mental fatigue. When your eyes are not struggling, your brain does not have to compensate.
Who Benefits Most From Computer Glasses
- Office professionals and remote workers
- Students
- Anyone over 30 experiencing eye fatigue at the computer
- People with headaches linked to screen use
- Multi-screen or long-hour computer users
Our Approach to Computer Glasses
At An Optical Galleria, computer glasses are not off-the-shelf solutions. They are custom-designed based on your screen distance, posture, and daily routine, using precision measurements taken during your eye exam. We can fit computer lenses into an existing frame you love, or make you a fun new pair that keeps you looking sharp during Zoom meetings.
The Result: Clearer vision. Less strain. More comfortable days.

Why Eye Exams Matter
- Catch Eye Problems Early – Many eye diseases, like glaucoma and macular degeneration, have no symptoms at first. Regular exams help detect them early, when treatment works best.
- Protect Your Vision – Conditions like cataracts and diabetic eye disease can cause vision loss if left untreated. Eye exams help prevent serious damage.
- Spot Health Issues – Your eyes can reveal signs of bigger health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some cancers.
- Keep Your Vision Sharp – Regular check-ups ensure your prescription is up to date, so you always see your best.
- Monitor Changes – Your eyesight and eye health change over time. Routine exams help track any issues before they become major problems.
- Get Expert Advice – Eye doctors can recommend the best ways to protect your vision, from screen time tips to proper eyewear.
Aging Eyes
One Day You Can Read, the Next Day You Can’t!
If you’re around 40, you may have noticed something strange, one day, you're reading just fine, and the next, you're holding menus and phone screens at arm’s length, struggling to see the words. This happens because your eyes lose flexibility as you age, making it harder to focus up close. It feels sudden, but it's a natural part of aging called presbyopia, and it happens to almost everyone.
Take control of your vision. Schedule an eye exam today!
Progressive Lenses: See Clearly, Stay Stylish
Instead of juggling multiple pairs of glasses or constantly looking over the top of your readers. Progressive lenses offer a seamless, modern solution. They let you see clearly at all distances, up close, mid-range, and far away, without the outdated look of traditional bifocals or the hassle of pulling out reading glasses every time you check your phone.

Not to mention how much time you'll save by not constantly searching for your readers!
