If you’re like many Americans, you probably spend a majority of your workday starting a computer screen. Although headaches, blurred vision, and dry eyes can be symptoms of bigger vision-related problems, it is likely that you suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome, also known as digital eye strain. At Hawaii Vision Clinic, located in Aiea and Honolulu, HI, the ophthalmologists not only address cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes, and macular degeneration, but they also help patients relieve Computer Vision Syndrome.

Cataracts, or a clouding that forms in the crystalline lens of the eye, are present in 20.5 million Americans over the age of 40. The most common causes aside from aging, are high lifetime UV exposure, diabetes, toxic compounds and trauma. A degenerative vision condition, cataracts will gradually cause vision loss and lead to blindness if it’s not treated. Treatment for it is surgery and is performed by a highly trained ophthalmologist.
