Computer Vision Syndrome, also known as digital eye strain is a cause for concern in recent years for eye-doctors worldwide. These are vision related problems that result from prolonged exposure to computer screens, tablets, e-readers and cell phones. Due to the current pandemic scenario, many of us are spending most of our waking hours looking into a screen – from adults doing office work or children attending school online on electronic devices.
Digital eye strain has many symptoms:
- Headache
- Blurry vision
- Dry, gritty eyes
- Watery and itchy eyes
- Redness of eyes
Dr Jayita Bose, a cataract specialist at Eye-Q Hospitals shares some quick and easy ways to alleviate Computer Vision Syndrome and give relief to your eyes:
- Practice the 20/20/20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds
- Use blue-ray blocking lenses: Blue light emitted from screens can cause more strain to eyes
- Use proper lighting and minimize glare
- Use doctor-recommended lubricating eye drops
Getting your eyes tested regularly for refractive errors can also help reduce the strain on the eyes. If your symptoms persist, it is advised you visit your eye doctor immediately. To book a comprehensive eye exam, contact Eye-Q Super-Specialty Eye Hospitals now.
