YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING DIGITAL EYE STRAIN WITHOUT REALIZING IT.
Digital or computer eye strain occurs when individuals experience a set of symptoms following extended screen exposure.
1. If you spend more than two hours on a computer, TV or phone each day, you may develop a condition known as Digital or Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Symptoms of CVS include:
- Headaches,
- Focusing difficulties,
- Burning eyes,
- Tired eyes,
- Eyestrain,
- Aching eyes,
- Dry eyes,
- Double vision,
- Blurred vision,
- Light sensitivity,
- Neck and shoulder pain.
Top 3 CVS Symptoms are:
1 - PEPPERY SENSATION
Do you ever feel sandy or peppery sensation when you blink after prolonged use of your digital device?
Prolonged staring at our phones or other digital devices can lead to a decrease in blink rate which can result in dry eyes. When we finally blink, our eyelid touches the dry cornea, causing peppery sensation or discomfort.
2 - BLURRY VISION
Have you ever noticed that you can't see clearly until you blink a few times after looking up from your digital device?
When we change focus from our phones or near tasks too far, our eyes need to adjust, causing temporary blurriness.
3 - HEAVINESS
Have you ever experienced a sensation of heaviness in your forehead after using your device for a while?
Vision care is often neglected but you cannot accomplish much without good or healthy vision. The eyes are the window to our bodies. *The world is beautiful to behold, though better seen than imagined.*
“Healthy screen time practice is the best way to combat Digital Eye Strain.”
