What are Digital Protection Lenses?

Over the past decade, digital media has become more and more prevalent. Digital media once dominated by only television is now supplemented with computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other multimedia devices. According to the Nielsen Company Audience Report, the average adult in the United States spends roughly 11 hours each day consuming digital media. That’s a lot of screen time! Considering that the average person is awake for only 16-18 hours, we are spending ~65% of our awake time in front of a screen.

These countless hours spent on reading from a screen can be potentially harmful to our eyes. Many of us have probably been exposed to these symptoms one point in time - dry eyes, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. These factors have been dubbed computer vision syndrome.
