How Computers Effect Your Vision

Staring at a screen for hours without taking a break can damage your vision.  Here are some tips for maintaining your eye health while working in an office setting or browsing online at home!

Spectacle carries a range of lenses to help with your vision while using a computer, including Nikon Online™. Nikon's Online™ lenses provide the kind of maximum close-range vision previously unthinkable.

By extending your field of vision laterally and towards the front, Nikon Online™ clarifies the focus of intermediate elements (up to 3 meters) such as a computer screen or person sitting across from you. This means that head and neck movements are minimized, eliminating eye strain and helping to alleviate postural fatigue. 

According to Nikon, "Today, the demands on our eyesight are greater than ever.  From professionals to hair stylists to programmers used to spending long hours in close observation, Nikon Online's effortless transition from close to middle-range distance is a tremendous asset."

Contact us at goodvision@spectaclelovesyou.com to inquire which lenses are best for you!

James Teej's New Album "Eight Bit Ocean" Launches Today

James Teej

Eight Bit Ocean is the sound of an artist, a handful of synths, drum machines, and a mic.  It makes for an enthralling listen as well as a hefty cache of dance floor material.  You can purchase Eight Bit Ocean on Beatport here.  Don't forget to check out James' new bootleg Get Lucky out now on Soundcloud too.
