Get Relief From Digital Eye Strain 

Digital eye strain is a vision problem caused by prolonged digital device use. Unfortunately, as people spend more time on computers and smartphones, digital eye strain is becoming more common

If you spend long hours working in front of a screen, you may have noticed it affecting your vision. At Royal Oak Optical, we have a number of solutions to help free your eyes from the effects of digital eye strain. 

How Do I Know If I Have Digital Eye Strain?

Digital eye strain can affect everyone differently. Typical symptoms include:

While most symptoms are temporary, you may experience longer-term vision issues if: 

  • You spend several hours on your digital device without taking a break 
  • You view digital devices at a short distance 
  • You have underlying eye problems
  • You view digital devices in poor lighting 

Tips for Relieving Digital Eye Strain 

While the best way to decrease digital eye strain symptoms is to spend less time on digital devices, we know it isn’t always possible. 

At Royal Oak Optical, we can help you find alternative ways to combat your symptoms. Book an appointment with us so we can take a comprehensive look at your eye health, treat any pre-existing eye conditions, and build a custom treatment plan suited to your needs. 

In the meantime, you may be able to decrease your digital eye strain symptoms by: 

  • Lowering the level of light in your surrounding area
  • Upgrading your display so it’s anti-reflective & anti-glare
  • Eating an eye-healthy diet 
  • Using blue light glasses with an anti-reflective coating
  • Adjusting the brightness on your device settings
  • Making an effort to blink more often
  • Following the 20-20-20 rule when looking at a screen
