We spend a lot of time in front of screens.
Given that you’re reading this on a screen right now, it’s a hard point to argue, right?
Don’t get us wrong; we love our devices as much as anyone else.
But what about their impact on eye health?
Whether it’s work, play, or creeping an old coworker on Instagram (we don’t judge), spending endless hours in front of digital displays can cause digital eye strain.
Your eyes were designed to focus on different distances in different light conditions.
But now more than ever, we spend a significant portion of our days staring at some kind of screen, usually from roughly the same distance.
Focusing on close objects for hours at a time is hard on your eyes.
Phone and computer screens are particularly rough because we tend to blink far less when we use them.
A lower blink rate means your eyes dry out and get tired faster.
You can get proactive about digital eye strain.
It’s just a matter of working smarter, so your eyes don’t have to work harder.
Whether it’s eyewear or eye health strategies, we’ll set you up with all the tools you need to combat digital eye strain.
Your eyes need breaks.
Try using the 20/20/20 rule.
Every 20 minutes, find an object that’s 20 feet away and look at it for 20 seconds.
It’s kind of like stretching your legs, but for your eyes.
Computer glasses could help reduce digital eye strain.
We’ll help you find the perfect pair of frames that make you look great and help your eyes feel better.
Two words: office ergonomics.
Make sure your desk is set up to reduce glare on your monitor.
Your screen should be about an arm’s length away from your face, and just below your eye line.
Don’t forget to sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor.

“I’m super happy with MDO. I had to get the training for contacts and it was a real struggle for me. Roxanna (if I got her name right) was so patient with me and we ended up having fun! Thank you guys!”
“Excellent operation. MDO is ahead of the curve in terms of their super-current diagnostic equipment as well as their choices for eye/vision care. Friendly & knowledgeable staff through each step of the process. Any time I go, I feel very confident I am being given the best and most up to date information for what’s out there and always feel good about the choice I make for my vision care.”
“I called two other optical shops for a quick frame fix and both explained they wouldn’t fix the glasses unless they were purchased at their store, even for a fee. Not only did MDO fix my frames for me (not purchased with them), when I went to pay they told me not to worry about it. Super friendly, helpful staff, and they’ve definitely earned a customer going forward.”
“MDO does not disappoint! They always help pick out styles that are the right fit and shape for me, and go above and beyond when it comes to repairs and warranties. As always I will be back! UPDATED APRIL 2020: I wish I could leave another review! My daughter’s glasses broke Friday night, and they took care of us so well and so quickly Saturday. As always, they show so much care for their customers. Doug & Jackie, thank you! You have a customer for life!”
“The store is really fun & inviting. The selection of glasses is amazing; you post up at the glasses bar and the ladies available to help do a fantastic job of finding a great pair to suit your face. Dr. Watson was very professional, informative and quick to get my vision assessed with recommendations!”
You should be. Discover the latest in style and inspiration: join MDO and find your picture-perfect look.
