Putting Your Eye Health & Comfort First
With the prevalence of smartphones, tablets, and computers in our daily lives, many people suffer from digital eye strain. You have probably been there: working away at your computer, feeling tired, and trying to ignore the compulsive need to rub your eyes. These can all be signs of digital eye strain.
Digital eye strain can be irritating, but you are not alone. Our team offers various methods to help manage and reduce its effects.
If you are dealing with tired and strained eyes, we can help. Contact us to schedule an appointment today.
Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain
Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, occurs when your eyes become tired or uncomfortable from prolonged screen use. Symptoms can include:
- Dry or itchy eyes
- Eye strain
- Blurred or double vision
- Headaches
- Neck or shoulder pain
Tasks like reading, up-close work, and working on digital screens cause your eyes to focus for extended periods, which can result in strained eyes.
Our Approach to Relief
At Chestermere Optometry, our services to alleviate digital eye strain include:
- Eye exams: We assess your vision and screen habits to identify underlying issues.
- Customized treatment plans: Recommendations may include computer glasses, adjustments to your screen setup, and lifestyle changes to reduce strain.
- Vision therapy: Exercises and strategies to improve visual comfort and efficiency.
Tips for Reducing Digital Eye Strain
Here are some practical tips to help manage digital eye strain:
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
- Adjust your screen: Make sure your screen is at a comfortable distance and angle.
- Use proper lighting: Avoid glare and use ambient lighting to reduce strain.
