👀💻 Are our screens ageing our eyes faster than we realise?
A recent CNA Big Read highlights how digital eye strain is no longer just a mild inconvenience — it’s becoming a growing public health concern. Symptoms like blurred near vision, headaches, fatigue and dry eyes are showing up in younger adults, even in their 30s.
Here’s the truth ⬇️
❌ Myth: “If I can see clearly, my eyes are fine.”
✅ Fact: Digital eye strain can affect you even with perfect eyesight.
That’s why at Tiong Bahru Eyecare, we don’t just check if you need glasses. We provide a deeper dive into eye examination that looks into eye muscle co-ordination, focus flexibility, tear quality and screen fatigue markers — to catch early signs of strain and protect your vision long-term.
💡 Small steps like the 20-20-20 rule (look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes) and proper screen ergonomics help, but if your discomfort persists, it may be time for a Digital Eye Health Check.
There are EFFECTIVE solutions that we can offer.

Staring at screens for hours has become routine for many Singaporeans, and it's taking a toll on their eyes. Doctors warn that digital eye strain, once brushed off as fatigue, is now a growing public health issue linked to long-term vision problems.
