Our office is a certified provider of PRIO glasses, which give dramatic relief from the eyestrain, blurred vision, and headaches often caused by computer use. PRIO glasses are based on a completely new testing technology that is clinically proven to eliminate the symptoms of eyestrain. You’ll see the difference immediately, and feel the comfort working at your computer.
PRIO’s Computer Lens is aimed at presbyopes whose work at the computer is combined with varied tasks at the desk, such as reading print or doing other close work. This lens provides for wide, clear viewing at the intermediate distance, which is especially important for computer use.
Unlike over-the-counter "readers" sold at many drug and computer stores, the PRIO Computer Frame Collection requires a prescription lens. Available in a range of fashionable styles and high-tech electronic colors, the collection uses a practical spring-hinge design and is available in Monel metal or multi-layer zyl.designs.
The PRIO System
The Prio System measures the way the patient focuses on a computer screen by using letters on a mini computer monitor, rather than the standard black-on-white eye chart.
The optometrists are able to take measurements based on focus ability and the patient’s work station setup.
Studies show that patients either focus behind or in front of the computer screen and the test simulates a computer.
The computer glasses a patient receives after this testing are equipped with a lens that has a wider area set for best computer focus. These aren’t glasses you wear to drive home. At the end of the day, you set the glasses by your computer. They are meant to save you from eyestrain, as well as the neck and back pain that computer operators may experience.
