Looking for Relief from Digital Eye Strain?
Look no further. Our team understands that daily life can require a lot of screen time. It’s no surprise that many people experience tired, blurry, or dry eyes after long periods in front of a screen.
Digital eye strain occurs when your eyes work harder to focus on screens for extended periods. Whether working on a computer, scrolling on your phone, watching TV, or gaming, the strain can leave your eyes feeling fatigued and uncomfortable.
The good news? Minor adjustments and proper eye care can make a big difference. Schedule an eye exam with our team today! We’re here to help you keep your eyes comfortable.
Find Relief from Eye Strain with Neurolens
If you’re struggling with eye strain, headaches, dry eyes, or neck pain, Neurolens could be the solution you need. Eye misalignment is a common but often overlooked cause of these symptoms. Neurolens uses contoured prism technology to gently correct misalignment, helping your eyes and brain work together more comfortably.
Fully customizable to your prescription, Neurolens can improve focus and reduce discomfort from screen time and close-up tasks.
Symptoms & Causes of Digital Eye Strain
Digital eye strain is common with prolonged screen use, leaving your eyes feeling tired and uncomfortable. Common symptoms can include:
- Aching or sore eyes
- Grittiness or burning sensation
- Blurry or double-vision
- Headaches
- Light sensitivity
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Watery eyes
Digital screens reduce your blink rate, causing dryness. Focusing on close-up devices strains your eye muscles, leading to fatigue. Poor lighting, glare, and improper screen positioning can make symptoms worse. Over time, this strain can lead to persistent discomfort and blurred vision.
How to Prevent Digital Eye Strain
The good news is that small changes to your routine and environment can significantly reduce digital eye strain. Try these strategies to keep your eyes comfortable:
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Blink more often or use artificial tears to help keep your eyes moist.
- Reduce glare and adjust your screen brightness to match the room lighting.
- Keep your screen about an arm’s length away and slightly below eye level.
- Glasses with blue light protection or screen filters can reduce eye strain.
- Step away from screens regularly to give your eyes and body a chance to reset.
