Helping You Manage Digital Eye Strain
Technology is an unavoidable part of our lives, but it shouldn’t cause eye strain or discomfort. Our eyes can be bombarded with screens—computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones–and increased screen time can lead to a condition known as digital eye strain.
At Waverley Eye Centre, our team understands the discomfort digital eye strain causes and can offer management solutions to alleviate your discomfort.
Contact us to schedule your appointment today, and let us help you manage your digital eye strain symptoms.
Request AppointmentDigital Eye Strain Symptoms
Digital eye strain can have uncomfortable symptoms like:
- Blurred vision
- Dry eyes
- Headaches
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Eye fatigue
Understanding Eye Strain
Although prolonged screentime can cause eye strain, there are several other factors that could contribute to its development, like:
- Uncorrected vision problems, such as astigmatism or presbyopia
- Poor lighting in your workspace
- Viewing a screen at the wrong distance or angle
- Infrequent blinking
When you come in for your exam, we can determine what is causing your eye strain and manage the condition accordingly.
Managing Digital Eye Strain
Managing digital eye strain is about implementing different habits into your daily routinue. Our team will discuss your lifestyle and pinpoint areas for adjustments.
Do you spend hours working on a computer at night without breaks? Perhaps you hold your phone too close to your face while reading. Does your work area have poor lighting? We offer different recommendations and tips to manage eye strain–just for you.
Eye Exercises
Simple eye exercises can help relax the eye muscles and reduce strain. Focusing on distant objects every 20 minutes, blinking rapidly for short intervals, or gently rolling your eyes in different directions can assist with relaxing the eyes.
Computer Eyewear
Specially designed lenses with blue light filters can help reduce eye fatigue and discomfort. Blue light–a specific wavelength emitted by digital screens–can contribute to eye strain.
Posture & Ergonomics Tips
We can recommend proper workstation setup and posture techniques to minimize strain on your eyes and neck. Modifications could involve adjusting your monitor height for adequate lighting to avoid glare and maintaining good posture with a straight back and relaxed shoulders.
Healthy Habits
Regular screen breaks, proper lighting, and a healthy blink rate can significantly improve your comfort and allow your eyes to refocus.
Living Comfortably Through Digital Eye Strain
You don’t have to deal with digital eye strain alone. You can achieve a comfortable and productive digital experience with a few adjustments and guidance.
