What Causes Digital Eye Strain?

Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, can be caused by prolonged exposure to digital screens. When that happens, symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision can derail your productivity and comfort.

We aim to educate our patients and help them overcome digital eye strain through in-house methods and at-home management techniques.

Diving Deeper Into Digital Eye Strain

Patient education is a big part of who we are, and when you visit us for your appointment, we go beyond just providing solutions for your eye care needs. We want to help you understand what’s going on with your eyes and vision. 

There are several factors that may contribute to digital eye strain, including: 

  • Extended screen time
  • Poor lighting in your workspace
  • Incorrect distance or angle while viewing your screen
  • Blue light exposure
  • Infrequent blinking
  • Uncorrected vision problems, such as astigmatism and presbyopia

Our Digital Eye Strain Strategies

We know that digital eye strain can be challenging to deal with and often frustrating. Fortunately, our team can help explain the steps you can take to prevent and manage digital eye strain, including contoured prism lenses, management techniques, and some vision therapy. 

Our team can help determine the right option for you based on your individual needs.

Contoured Prism Lenses

Contoured prism lenses, also known as prismatic glasses or prismatic eyewear, are specially designed lenses that can help alleviate symptoms of digital eye strain.

These lenses have a unique design that alters the way light enters the eye to help reduce the amount of work your eye muscles have to do to focus on close objects, such as a computer or smartphone screen.

We prescribe contoured prism lenses because we believe they can help our patients.

When you visit us for an eye exam, we may suggest some vision therapy exercises you can add to your daily routine to get some relief. Dr. Yap is always looking to help patients manage digital eye strain in new ways. Visit us to learn how vision therapy exercises can help.

Focusing on your screen for long periods without a break can dry your eyes and cause strain. Giving your eyes a break is crucial, and the 20-20-20 rule allows for some well-deserved rest.

The 20-20-20 rule involves:

  • Looking away from your screen every 20 minutes
  • Focusing on something 20 feet away
  • Looking at the object of focus for at least 20 seconds

Prioritizing Your Eye Health

You can expect an informative, productive, and helpful experience when you visit us for your appointment. We use several techniques to help you take back your comfort from digital eye strain. 

We know that digital eye strain can derail your day, but we’re here to help. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.
