PRIO MAKES FINDING A COMPUTER VISION SPECIALIST EASIER

Consumers Can Now Find Specialist by Zip code on the Internet

BEAVERTON, OR - Finding an eye doctor that specializes in computer vision care can be difficult as most eye doctors still rely on 18th century methods to diagnose a 21st century vision problem. PRIO Corporation, the leader in computer vision care, however, has now made finding a computer vision specialist much easier.

The consumer can now go to the PRIO website (www.prio.com ) and find a computer vision specialist by typing in their zip code. Immediately they will have the phone numbers and addresses of all computer vision specialists within miles of their home or office. “Finding an eye doctor who specializes in quality computer vision care can be frustrating,” said Jon Torrey, President and CEO of PRIO Corp. “It is critical that the computer-user have an accurate computer exam because a small miscorrection can cause a significant decrease in productivity and comfort. Our new Find a Doctor locator system will take the guess work out of finding the best computer vision care.”

It is estimated that 90% of all computer users suffer from symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS; and that 75% would benefit from computer eyeglasses. Viewing a computer screen causes the eyes to work much harder. The additional focusing work can result in headaches, blurred vision, tired, burning eyes, and neck and shoulder pain. Traditional methods of testing for computer vision problems, such as reading the “E” chart, are good for determining a patient’s distance vision, but computer vision specialists use the PRIO vision tester. No other medical device simulates the pixilated image on the computer screen, measuring exactly how a patient’s eyes react when reading a computer screen. Clinical studies have shown that this method enables the doctor to get the most accurate Rx for the computer-user while also increasing productivity and accuracy when working at a computer.
