What is Digital Eye Strain
Despite being called “digital eye strain,” or “computer vision syndrome,” the source of your discomfort doesn’t come from the device you’re using; it comes from doing close-up work over long periods.
When you focus on an object up close, your blinking slows, leading to a destabilized tear film that could lead to symptoms like:
- Wateriness
- Redness
- Dryness
- Irritation
- Headaches
- Sore neck and shoulders
- Light sensitivity
- Poor concentration
