Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 20-20-20 rule?

Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. This simple practice helps reduce eye strain and encourages blinking, which keeps your eyes lubricated.

Do blue light glasses really work?

Blue light glasses may help reduce eye strain for some people, though studies are mixed. More important are proper ergonomics, appropriate lighting, regular breaks, and treating underlying dry eye or vision issues.

Can too much screen time permanently damage my eyes?

There's no evidence that screen use causes permanent eye damage in adults. However, increased near work in children is linked to myopia development. Symptoms like eye strain and dry eye are typically temporary and treatable.

Does insurance cover Computer Vision Syndrome treatment?

Most vision and medical insurance plans cover diagnostic exams and medically necessary treatments. We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before treatment.
