## Are your eyes worn out by the end of a day on screens?

You have been at your computer screen since morning. By three o'clock you have tired eyes, your vision goes blurry when you look up, and you catch yourself rubbing your eyes on the drive home. We hear about that day from neighbors all over Titusville.

Sequel is an everyday prescription lens designed for long days on a computer screen, a tablet, or a cell phone. A small amount of prism is built into the lower part of the lens, right where you look to read and type. It needs no special measurement, so your regular prescription goes in as usual.

## What are Sequel lenses, and how do they work?

Every time you look at something close, your two eyes turn in a little to meet on it. A day at a desk asks for thousands of those small turns. Sequel lenses carry a gentle prism in the near and lower middle part of the lens, which the maker calls Convergence Boost. It is designed to shift the image up close so your eyes can rest in a more natural, comfortable position while they focus up close.

Newton, the company that makes Neurolens, makes Sequel for people who get eye fatigue during screen time. The design is the same for every wearer, so no measuring device is needed. The maker describes Sequel as easy to wear and easy to fit.

We will help you pick the design at your visit, based on the visual demands of your day.

The maker offers Sequel in four designs:

- Single vision, with or without a small focusing boost for close work
- Progressive, for people who need reading help and distance in one pair
- Computer, a pair of computer glasses set for the desk and anything within about four feet
- Meeting, set for a room out to about ten feet

## How do Sequel lenses compare with computer glasses, blue light blocking glasses, and Neurolens?

An ordinary single vision lens gives you clear sight at one distance and adds nothing for close work. Most computer glasses move the clearest focus to the intermediate distance of a computer screen. Not all computer glasses are built the same, and Sequel is its own kind. Blue light glasses filter part of the blue light from screens, and blue light filtering is a different idea from Sequel.

Sequel adds a small fixed prism for near work and needs nothing beyond your regular eye exam. Neurolens, made by the same company, uses a prism measured for your own eyes in a short headset test. The maker points people whose screen strain comes with headaches, neck pain, or motion sickness toward Neurolens. We offer both, and we will help you sort out which one fits.

| Lens | What it changes | Who it is for | Needs a test? |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sequel lenses | A small fixed prism low in the lens for near and computer work | Long screen days and tired eyes by afternoon | No, just your regular eye exam |
| Ordinary single vision lenses | Clear focus at one distance, nothing added for close work | Anyone who needs a prescription | No |
| Computer glasses | The clearest focus set at screen distance | Long hours of computer use | Your regular eye exam |
| Blue light blocking glasses | Filter part of the blue light from screens | People who want a filter while they work | No exam needed, sold in stores and online |
| Neurolens | A prism measured for your eyes | Screen strain that comes with headaches, neck pain, or motion sickness | Yes, a short headset measurement |

## Why does a computer screen wear out your eyes by the afternoon?

Digital eye strain and computer vision syndrome are two names for the same thing. It is the tired, achy feeling that builds over extended periods on a computer, tablet, or cell phone. Three things happen at once. Your eyes hold a close focus for hours, you blink less so the surface dries, and both eyes stay turned inward.

People who ask us about Sequel often mention tired eyes by midafternoon, blurred vision when they look up from the screen, and eye discomfort that makes them want to rub their eyes. If your eyes burn or feel gritty by evening, dry eye may be part of it, and we look after that too.

A few simple habits help, whatever glasses you wear:

- Every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds
- Keep the monitor about arm's length away, with the top near eye level
- Make a conscious effort to blink fully when you pause to think
- Match the screen brightness to the room around it
- Ask about an anti-reflective coating to cut screen glare from fluorescent lighting and windows
- Hold your cell phone and other mobile devices a little farther away than feels natural

## Do I need a different prescription for computer work?

Often, yes. A computer screen sits farther away than a printed page and closer than the road. A lens set for that intermediate distance can differ from your everyday pair, and the gap tends to grow once you start needing help to read up close.

An old prescription also makes your eyes work harder at the screen all day. That is why a current eye exam comes first, before any pair of prescription computer glasses or Sequel lenses.

If you wear contacts, digital eye strain can find you too, and dryness is often the bigger part. Some people keep a pair of glasses at the desk to give their eyes a rest from contacts. Ask us at your visit and we will go over what makes sense for your day.

## What is the visit like if I am curious about Sequel lenses?

It starts with an eye exam, which is also how we check your eye health and make sure the strain is not something else. Bring the glasses you wear at the computer now. Tell us how your day goes: your screen time, how far away the monitor sits, and whether you work on a laptop, a desktop, or your phone.

From there we help you choose the design and a frame from our optical, and we go over cost before anything is ordered. When your glasses arrive, we fit them to your face. Everyone settles into a new lens at their own pace, and we are glad to talk through what to expect for yours.

A sudden change in your sight is a reason to call us the same day.

## Does insurance cover Sequel lenses?

Cost depends on the design, your prescription, and the frame you choose, and coverage depends on your plan. Call us with your plan name and we will check your benefits before you come in. Your HSA or FSA card is welcome, and we offer CareCredit, Cherry financing, and Afterpay for anyone who would rather pay in steps.

## Questions Titusville patients ask us about Sequel lenses

### Who offers Sequel lenses in Titusville?

Aker Eye Vision Source offers Sequel lenses at our Titusville offices. Our patients rate us 4.9 stars from 2,027 Google reviews as of September 2026, and we have cared for Titusville eyes since 2004. Call (321) 269-2021 to book.

### Do computer glasses work?

Computer glasses put the clearest focus at screen distance instead of across the room or at a book. That suits a lot of long days of computer work. Whether a computer pair, Sequel, or your everyday glasses fits you best depends on what your eye exam shows, and we will walk through it with you.

### What is the difference between Sequel and Neurolens?

Both come from Newton. Sequel uses the same small built-in prism for every wearer and needs no measurement beyond your prescription. Neurolens uses a prism measured for your eyes in a short headset test, and the maker suggests it when strain comes with headaches, neck pain, or motion sickness. We offer both at Aker Eye.

### What is digital eye strain?

Digital eye strain, also called computer vision syndrome, is the tired, achy feeling after long hours of screen viewing. It comes from holding a close focus, blinking less, and keeping both eyes turned inward. Breaks, a good screen distance, and the right lenses all play a part.

### Is digital eye strain permanent?

For most people, no. It usually eases with a break or a good night of sleep. If it lingers into the next morning or keeps getting worse, come see us and we will take a closer look.

### Can I use my regular prescription glasses for the computer?

Often you can. Distance glasses put the clearest focus far away, though, so a screen at arm's length can take more effort, especially once you need help reading up close. We check how your current pair handles your screen at your exam.

### Are Sequel lenses the same as blue light glasses?

No. Blue light glasses are made to block blue light, or filter part of it, from screens. Sequel carries a gentle prism designed to ease the inward turn your eyes make for close work. We can talk about lens tints and an anti-reflective coating for your Sequel pair at your visit.

### How long does it take to get used to Sequel lenses?

Everyone is a little different. Wear them as your everyday pair from the start, and ask us at your visit what to expect with your prescription and design. If something feels off once you are home, call us.

### Is Sequel covered by insurance?

That depends on your plan. Give us a call with your plan name and we will look it up before your visit. We also take HSA and FSA cards and offer financing.
