title: Improvement of computer screen viewing in elderly patients.
abstract: Patients with early cataracts or cloudy posterior capsules often have problems with the reflected glare from the protective glass surface over the computer screen. This report describes a device which surrounds the computer screen and (a) decreases glare by shading the screen, thus increasing screen contrast, and (b) creates a new image of the computer screen at a lower position. This allows the bifocal wearer to read without tipping his or her head backward.
