Patients working in an environment where fluorescent lighting is in use may need ultraviolet (UV) treatments, anti-reflective (A-R) coatings, and lens tints for this type of lighting may cause eye strain. Lenses with UV and anti-reflective coatings can help reduce this strain and improve your on-the-job performance. Advancements in lens treatments for anti-reflective lenses have dramatically helped diminish the eye strain from excessive computer viewing and night driving. Our board certified opticians can advise you on right choice for your work and daily activities.
