DIGITAL EYE STRAIN
WHAT IS DIGITAL EYE STRAIN
Are your eyelids getting heavier as you keep staring at the screen? Did you find it hard to switch focus from one screen to another? Or a headache during computer work? If yes, chances are you have experienced digital eye strain.
Digital eye strain is not only causing tiredness but also early presbyopia (Malay: rabun tua; Mandarin: 老花) if left untreated.
DIGITAL EYE STRAIN
WEAK EYE MUSCLE
When we overwork in front of the screen, we overwork our eyes. As a result, our eye muscle becomes weaker and we feel fatigue easily during computer work.
Our optometrist uses the Royal Air Force ruler to test eye muscle, by comparing your eyes’ focusing ability with your biological age.

OUR SOLUTION
Relax lenses are designed to relieve eye strain. By default, we require less eye power to see near objects. However, normal single vision lenses are primarily designed to see far objects. Therefore, we naturally strain our eyes to see near objects even without realising it.
To tackle that, the lower relax zone on a relax lens is optimised for near work, such as checking mobile phones and doing computer work. Whereas the upper clear zone is used for far vision. In short, you get to enjoy a stress-free near vision without compromising your far vision.
