Solve Your Eye Discomfort Problem!
With the pandemic Covid19 sweeping across the globe, many have made the abrupt swift to work from home.
Looking at the laptop, counting the hours, you squeeze your eyes tight because of dryness and fatigue.
So, you decided to take a break: laying down, scrolling through Facebook on your phone. You stand up and all of a sudden, you are seeing stars and battling blurry vision, it subsides, though, and you shake it off.
90% people experienced blurred vision due to prolonged screening time
We are unaware our eyes are being exposed to a variety of visible and invisible light rays that can have a range of effects just by stepping outdoors into sunlight, flipping on a wall switch indoors, turning on our computer, phone or other digital devices.
Studies have reported that exposure to UV solar rays accelerates age-related visual loss and another notorious visible light ray – the blue light, has emerged to be more prevalent than sunlight exposure.
Research shows that blue light is damaging to the retina and other parts of our eye1, as our eye is not very good at blocking blue light, allowing all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens, towards to retina.
Chronic exposure to blue light is associated with increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, leading cause of blindness in older adults1-4. Besides that, as blue light scatters more easily than other visible light, it is not as easily focused and reduces contrast. Therefore, it is contributing to digital eye strain when you are looking at computer screens and other digital devices that emit significant amounts of blue light.
Dealing with Digital Eye Strain
Your eyes may feel tired or irritated after focusing intensely on activity like viewing a computer screen, reading a book, or driving a car for a long duration of time. This condition is known as eye strain and is a common condition, especially in this digital age.
Eye strain caused by the use of digital devices like computers, smartphones, tablets is known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome. Daily use of digital screens for several hours at a time has been reported to be one of the biggest causes of eye strain. Around 87% of Americans was known to use one or more digital device for more than 2 hours day.
Key signs of eye strain include:
- Burning sensations
- Blurred vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Itchiness
- Excessive tearing
- Difficult to focus
