Relieve the Strain
of Digital Devices

Digital devices have become an integral part of our lives, but prolonged screen time can lead to digital eye strain. 

At Moses Eyecare, we’re here to help alleviate discomfort and protect your vision from the effects of digital screens. And you can start today when you book an appointment.

Come see how we can help you enjoy comfortable sight in the digital age.

What Is
Digital Eye Strain?

Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, is a condition caused by prolonged use of digital devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets. 

Symptoms can include headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, neck/shoulder pain, eyestrain, difficulty focusing and increased sensitivity to light.

Causes of
Digital Eye Strain

With the increasing reliance on digital devices for work, education, and entertainment, the prevalence of digital eye strain has skyrocketed. Spending hours in front of screens can lead to visual discomfort and impact productivity, learning, and overall well-being.

Digital eye strain is a common issue for many people, and there are numerous ways you can develop symptoms.

Uncorrected Refractive Errors

Uncorrected or undercorrected refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can affect your visual comfort while using a digital device.

Reflections and glare from screens can strain the eyes, leading to increased visual fatigue.

Sitting too close or too far from the screen can force the eyes to work harder to focus, leading to eye strain.

Staring at screens reduces the frequency of blinking, causing dryness and irritation.

Improper posture and positioning while using digital devices can strain the neck, shoulders, and eyes.

Preventing & Managing
Digital Eye Strain

If you’re struggling with your eye comfort while using your smartphone, tablet, or computer, then we recommend booking an eye exam your nearest Moses Eyecare Center

During the eye exam, we’ll take a deep look at your eye care needs and develop a personalized strategy to help keep your vision comfortable. In some cases, we may provide an updated lens prescription, or we might ask you to use a few eye-comforting exercises to help manage your symptoms.

Blue light filters

We provide blue light filters that reduce the amount of blue light emitted by screens, minimizing eye strain and fatigue.

Specialized computer glasses optimize visual comfort by reducing glare, improving contrast, and enhancing screen clarity.

We recommend the 20-20-20 rule—take a 20-second break every 20 minutes and focus on an object 20 feet away to relax your eyes.

Frequent blinking helps lubricate the eyes and reduce dryness. We can recommend specific exercises to incorporate into your daily routine.

Our optometrists can provide guidance on proper screen positioning, seating posture, and lighting to optimize visual comfort.
