Many who spend the day behind a computer screen find their eyesight compromised in a number of ways, in addition to just feeling exhausted after eight hours of sitting and staring. Our eyes were designed to move and adjust, focusing near to far and side to side, during all kinds of natural light conditions, not to be steadily focused all day, every day, on a backlit electronic screen.

Seeing clearly, in itself, is no small feat. As light is reflected by objects near and far, it enters the eye through the cornea. It is then focused through the pupil as tiny muscles in the iris contract and relax, opening and closing in response. The lens, just behind the pupil, changes shape with the help of small muscles in the ciliary body to focus the light onto the retina at the back of the eye. Millions of photoreceptive nerve cells within the retina send light energy in the form of electric impulses through the optic nerve to the brain. Light sensitive cone cells, in the center portion of the retina called the macula, specialize in color and detail seen in bright light. Low light, peripheral vision cells, called rods, surround the macula, acting as motion sensors in dim conditions. This is the miracle of eyesight.
