Protecting Eyes in a Digital Time
From work to entertainment, technology is becoming more and more important in our lives. However, this sometimes comes with problems. If you’ve spent extended periods of time on a digital device before, you’ve likely experienced the effects of digital eye strain.
Viewing a screen on a digital device makes your eyes work harder than they normally do, resulting in vision and eye issues. One of the causes of this extra work is the sharper images that appear on digital screens.
Common Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain
If you’re spending long periods on screens each day, the symptoms of digital eye strain can quickly become irritating. Luckily, these symptoms can be reduced if technology usage is adjusted.
Digital eye strain symptoms include:
- Headaches
- Shoulder or neck pain
- Dry eyes
- Blurred vision
Blue Light Glasses
Digital eye strain can be caused by the emission of blue light from digital screens. To protect your eyes, blue light protective lenses can be used. We are one of the few practices in the country that can prescribe lenses to 1/100th of a diopter, while it is conventionally done up to 1/4 of a diopter.
These lenses limit the amount of blue light your eyes are exposed to and can help reduce the symptoms of digital eye strain.
20–20–20 Rule
If you’re spending significant time on digital devices, it’s important to give your eyes a break. One of the best breaks you can take is by following the 20–20–20 rule.
The rule is simple and effective; every 20 minutes of screen time, take a 20-second break by looking at an object at least 20 feet away. This break helps your eyes reset and reduces strain.
Reducing Digital Eye Strain
We get it; limiting your time on digital devices isn’t always easy. To help protect your eyes long-term and limit symptoms, we have worked tirelessly to be able to provide you with a number of preventative technologies and treatments.

Our Testimonials
Great customer service, very nice employees and a great doctor. They will do what they can to make sure your needs are meet in the most efficient way.
Connor
Love love love Dr. Barber & all his staff! I’ve seen Dr. Barber at his previous location; this was my first visit to CHROMA though. Blew me away. The technology they’ve implemented led to the quickest & most thorough examination. I went initially for my routine exam & to purchase my yearly contacts. Welp- they had way too many cute pairs of glasses & since my prescription had GOTTEN BETTER, I needed new glasses too. I had NOT budgeted the money for both contacts & new glasses. They were so so accommodating: set aside + added the frames I liked to my file, calculated all the prices (with & without insurance for both), answered my million questions, etc etc. Ended up leaving with my exam + contacts + new glasses for the same amount I used to spend on just contacts for a year. Cannot WAIT to get my new cute glasses in a couple weeks! To summarize: GO SEE THEM! I just THOUGHT Dr. Barber had an awesome practice before moving. Now, he’s got the ABSOLUTE BEST you could ever imagine. ♥️

I have just barely had glasses and been visiting Chroma for about a year now and it has been a great experience so far. They are very welcoming and you can tell how much they care for the patience. Top of the line equipment and top of the line service.

We love and adore Dr. V! He is personable, kind, and he knows his stuff! We drive 40 minutes to see him for our son. Staff was pleasant and went out of their way to help with insurance question. The building is super cool and modern. They have so many frame options in office which is super nice! Excellent experience!

I absolutely love CHROMA! Dr. V and the entire staff is so amazing and I know I am receiving the best care with each visit! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and so friendly!! Dr. V really takes the time to explain everything and also makes the appointment enjoyable! The office is SOOO stunning and clean as well!

I’m always so so happy with my experience at Chroma. I live in New York and make sure I come back here every year because Dr Barber (and now Dr. V) really can’t be beat. They really take care of their patients from start to finish. I also appreciate how great the staff is at communication before and after appointments- they are very accommodating and helpful to work out the best deal for you. Bottom life- can’t beg you enough to go here for your eye care. You will never regret it.
