LCD Monitors With Eye Protection

Filed under: in the news...


Prestigio Technology has unveiled two new 17" and 19" LCD multimedia monitors P776 and P796 of the newly introduced hi-end 7th Series. As the manufactures say, the new monitors feature superior design and tinted-glass screen coating.

What does this have to do with medicine, you ask? Well, the tinted-glass coating contributes to the prevention of the so-called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), with some studies estimating that 90 percent of the workers using computers for more than 3 hours per day experience CVS in some form. CVS symptoms include headaches, loss of focus, double/blurred vision, tired or burning eyes, and even neck and shoulder pains. The new tinted-glass Prestigio monitors have been designed to reduce these possible health risks.

I think you should check with medical (vision, human factors, etc) experts before passing through medical benefit innuendoes. They can often pretty much instantly tell you if there's any substance to it, or if it's just massive spin to help get picked up on blogs.

As the number of information workers grows the long term effects of computer vision syndrome (CVS) will become more prevalent in the workplace. If you work in a cubicle one product that can help alleviate the symptoms of CVS is a CubeShield.
