In 1991, James Sheedy, O.D., PhD., Chief of the VDT Eye Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley, conducted a nationwide survey of optometrists. Sponsored by the Optical Coating Laboratory Inc., manufacturer of GlareGuard anti-glare filters, the survey sought to determine how many patients had eye problems caused by computer use, the most prevalent symptoms, diagnoses and treatment.
Respondents indicated that, on average 14.25 percent of their patients or nearly 10 million people annually - complain about symptoms primarily associated with computer use. The optometrists further reported that conventional treatment, such as prescription lenses or spectacle design changes, alleviated only a portion of the problem, the remaining symptoms being directly related to the computer work environment.
