Ease Modern Life’s Burden on Your Eyes
Eye strain isn’t a new phenomenon, but the amount of time we spend on screens has worsened the problem. Many of us use digital devices to work, play, socialize, and learn, and all that screen time can lead to visual disruptions and uncomfortable eye symptoms.
You don’t need to throw your smartphone or laptop in the trash to ease eye strain. With help from your eye care team, you can manage the symptoms—and get to the bottom of any underlying causes that could be making eye strain worse.
Digital Eye Strain & its Symptoms
Eye strain is caused by the extra effort our eyes put forward to focus for a long period. This can happen when driving, reading, or doing detailed, up-close work.
Digital eye strain refers to the excessive strain caused by long hours of focused screen use. It’s sometimes called computer vision syndrome.
Symptoms of digital eye strain include:
- Headaches
- Sore, tired, burning, or itching eyes
- Watery eyes
- Dry eyes
- Blurred or double vision
- Sore neck, shoulders, or back
- Difficulty concentrating
- Struggling to keep your eyes open
If you’re struggling with digital eye strain, visit our office. Having an out-of-date prescription, an undiagnosed refractive error, or dry eye syndrome can cause your eyes to work overtime, worsening eye strain symptoms.
