In today’s screen-first world, our eyes are under more stress than ever. Whether it’s working from home, scrolling through the latest social feeds or winding down with a show before bedtime, digital devices dominate our daily routines. Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, is emerging as a modern epidemic. The good news is that there are simple and effective ways to protect your vision and give your eyes the relief they need.
Digital eye strain occurs when the delicate muscles responsible for focusing work overtime.
Staring at a screen requires sustained close-up focus, often under less-than-ideal lighting conditions. Symptoms include blurred vision, dry eyes, headaches, neck or shoulder discomfort and difficulty refocusing your gaze. In fact, focusing on screens for hours with minimal breaks causes tired eyes and can affect overall well-being.
Another factor is blinking.
When we use screens, we blink nearly 60% less than usual, leading to a less stable tear film and causing dryness and irritation.
Protecting your vision does not require complex gadgets or costly interventions. Instead, simple healthy habits make a powerful difference.
