In this day and age, we all seem to have some sort of electronic device on us at all times. Tiny screens, bright graphics and the constant switching from Facebook to Twitter to photos to email can really put a strain on our eyes.

Hoya Sync Lenses #HoyaLenses

These activities make us prone to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) – a temporary condition resulting from focusing the eyes on a computer display for protracted, uninterrupted periods of time. Some symptoms of CVS include headaches, blurred vision, neck pain, redness in the eyes, fatigue, eye strain, dry eyes, irritated eyes, double vision, polyopia, and difficulty refocusing the eyes. These symptoms can be further aggravated by improper lighting conditions or air moving past the eyes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_vision_syndrome)

Hoya Lenses has been at the forefront of making high quality lenses that can help counteract CVS, called SYNC Lenses! SYCH lenses were created for people who spend a lot of time looking at screens, like me. And even though I don’t wear glasss, I can use these lenses to to help counteract my CVS – which I do have, I won’t lie!

SYNC SINGLE VISION LENSES are designed to provide effortless, comfortable viewing adaptations to whatever your visually strenuous days demand.

The revolutionary design of SYNC lenses allows you to focus in all directions and distances – while your eyes remain relaxed – all day long. Not only does this alleviate eyestrain, it significantly reduces fatigue caused by our everyday near task routines.

Check out this short video of people who tried and love Sync.
