Section V: Optional Treatments
for Computer Eyewear

Lens Coatings

  • An AR coating will reduce the office environment glare
  • AR is always highly recommended for computer eyewear

Tints

  • For patients who work in a brightly-lit office with fluorescent lights
  • Recommend light tint with 8% absorption
  • Verify with lab that tint and AR will work together
  • UV: computer screens emit little or no UV light
  • UV protection not necessary unless patient requests it

Dispensing computer eyewear

  • Advise patient that workplace may have different visual environment
  • Those differences may require fine tuning of the office lights or monitor positioning

Computer eyewear in use

  • Remind patient to call with specific problems
  • Contact patient in 10 days to determine if they are getting expected improvement in comfort and clarity
  • Ask for recommendation to their co-workers
