Are Your Eyes Feeling the Strain?
Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, is becoming increasingly common as screen time rises. With so much of our day spent on screens, our eyes face unique challenges, such as dry eye, which can lead to discomfort.
Our team is here to help you find relief through a combination of practical tips and specialized care. We know avoiding screens all day isn’t realistic, so instead, we want to help you manage the effects of digital eye strain and use screens comfortably.
Contact us to schedule your appointment today and address your digital eye strain concerns.
Understanding Digital Eye Strain
When we stare at digital screens, like smartphones and computers, we tend to blink less than normal, causing our tear film to evaporate more quickly than it should.
Digital eye strain can also develop from extended screen time, focusing issues, poor lighting, and improper viewing habits. Common symptoms can include:
- Headaches
- Blurred vision
- Eye fatigue
- Dryness
Our Approach to Digital Eye Strain Relief
We believe that managing digital eye strain goes beyond quick fixes. Temporary solutions may offer brief relief, but our goal is to address the root causes of your discomfort for a lasting impact.
By considering all aspects of your visual health, including your unique screen habits, working environment, and overall eye wellness, we provide strategies designed for sustainable comfort.
Our focus is on effective, long-term solutions that reduce strain, protect your vision, and adapt to your daily routines—keeping your eyes feeling fresh and focused throughout the day.
Our team offers guidance on improving viewing habits, such as the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
Adjusting your screen’s brightness, increasing text size, and optimizing your workspace lighting can also reduce eye strain.
Since digital eye strain often overlaps with dry eye, we’ll evaluate whether dryness might be contributing to your symptoms. Our recommendations may include artificial tears or simple lifestyle adjustments to keep your eyes comfortably hydrated.
While blue light lenses are popular, they aren’t always necessary for everyone. We offer them as an option, but our primary focus is on solutions that will address the root causes of your symptoms.
Anti-glare lenses can be another effective way to ease eye strain by reducing reflections on your screen.
