Why DeskRest is Important - The Modern Computer Work Crisis

Myopia: Extended screen time accelerates nearsightedness rates among computer workers. What once developed over years now progresses rapidly.

Repetitive Strain: IT workers face elevated risks of wrist pain and shoulder tension that impact daily productivity and career longevity.

Poor Posture: Prolonged computer work creates chronic neck and back pain. Minor discomfort compounds into persistent health issues.

Digital Eye Strain: Affects 65% of computer workers, causing headaches, blurred vision, and fatigue that reduces work quality.
