 PRIO DEVELOPS COMPUTER VISION EYE Q TEST
To help ECPs educate their patients about CVS, including symptoms, treatment and prevention, PRIO Corporation, a leader in the computer vision care industry, has developed the Computer Vision Eye-Q test. The 10-question test, which will be available to all eye doctors' offices throughout the country, will include questions such as 'What are the symptoms of CVS?' and 'What is the #1 best way to prevent CVS?" Answers are included at the bottom of the test. The in-office test is also intended to encourage patients to schedule a computer vision exam. (The test follows.) "We created this test to further awareness of what is commonly called the '#1 workplace hazard of the 21st century,' " said Jon Torrey, President of PRIO. "Unfortunately, while a lot of people know their eyes start to hurt and they get neck and back pain after sitting at the computer for several hours, they don't know why it happens or how to prevent it. This Computer Vision Eye-Q test will answer these and other questions." According to the American Optometric Association, 70 to 75 percent of an estimated 143 million computer-using Americans and suffer from CVS, would benefit from computer eyewear.
