Case study: An option for tired eyes

The new Essilor Eyezen lens is clearly being aimed at patients suffering symptoms linked with digital eye strain. When I saw recently such a patient, I thought it too good an opportunity to miss to try out the new lens.

Patient presentation

The patient is female with a date of birth 7/8/1974 and appeared to show signs of incipient presbyopia (feelings of strain especially in the evening – ‘for eBay’ – figure 1) along with digital eye strain (the same when using a tablet or smart phone accompanied by grittiness and blurring on blink exclusive to screen viewing).

She only recently had increased evening tablet use, which could be anything up to three hours at any one time. Typical working distance 50cm.
