Battling Digital Eye Strain: Tips & Treatments from Luxer’s Experts

The average adult spends more than seven hours a day staring at screens. Computers, smartphones, and tablets may keep us connected and productive, but they also strain our eyes in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Digital Eye Strain — sometimes called Computer Vision Syndrome — has become one of the most common conditions in modern healthcare.

What Is Digital Eye Strain?

Symptoms can include:

- Dry, irritated eyes.

- Headaches and neck pain.

- Difficulty focusing.

- Blurred vision.

- Fatigue after screen use.

Why It Happens

Screens force the eyes to work harder, focusing at a fixed distance and often in poor lighting. Blue light exposure and reduced blinking rates contribute to discomfort and long-term issues.

Our team takes a holistic approach:

- Full eye exam to rule out underlying issues.

- Personalised advice on workplace ergonomics.

- Prescription of specialised lenses if required.

Self-Help Tips

- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

- Ensure screens are positioned at eye level or slightly below.

- Adjust brightness and contrast to reduce glare.
