Digital Eye Strain Management in Toronto

What Is Digital Eye Strain?

If you find yourself looking at screens for many hours, you may experience symptoms of digital eye strain. Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, can occur when you look at a digital screen such as a phone or computer for a long period of time, which can cause strain on eye focus and movement.

Many of our student patients spend a great deal of time in front of a computer screen, which can lead to digital eye strain and, in turn, dry eyes.

This can happen because viewing a digital screen puts additional stress on your eyes. There tends to be more contrast, blur, or glare on a digital screen, which our eyes can take longer to adjust to, and screens can interrupt our natural blink rhythm, leading to dry eyes.  

If you feel you may be experiencing digital eye strain or dry eyes, give our office a call and book an eye exam.
