VDU

In today’s world, almost everyone spends significant time looking at digital screens—whether that’s a computer monitor at work, a laptop at home, a mobile phone, or even an e-reader like a Kindle. Extended screen time can put extra strain on your eyes and may lead to a condition known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Common symptoms include eyestrain, dryness, blurred vision, headaches, and difficulty focusing, especially after long periods of screen use.

If you regularly work with visual display units (VDUs), it’s important to look after your eye health. During your eye examination at Poulton Optical Centre, we’ll discuss your daily screen habits and the types of devices you use.

Our goal is to keep your vision comfortable and protect your eyes, whether you’re working or relaxing in front of a screen.VDU (Screen Use) Eye Care
