Glasses for Your Computer?

Researchers at the University of California Berkley are developing algorithms that work with covers placed over computer screens to adapt to various vision disorders. These vision-correcting displays will give users who need glasses for computer work temporary freedom from their prescription eyewear. While current research is focused on conditions that can be addressed with glasses such as presbyopia and hyperopia, researchers hope to one day soon create displays that address high order aberrations as well.

This technology may soon become available for home computer users. In the not too distant future it may become available for tablets and smart phones as well. This is fantastic news for people who don’t like prescription eyewear but still want to live in the modern world. However, as fascinating and helpful as these displays may be, they only serve one very specific use. 

If you have tired of prescription eyewear – both glasses and contact lenses – it may be time to discuss LASIK with your eye doctor. Unlike displays that address a single issue, LASIK permanently adjusts that shape of your cornea, allowing for crystal clear vision at all times and under all circumstances.

To learn if you are a good candidate for LASIK vision correction, please contact an experienced eye surgeon in your area to schedule your consultation.
