Understanding Digital Eye Strain

Infrequent blinking

Our Digital Eye Strain Management Strategies

To find the right digital eye strain strategy for you, we start by assessing your overall eye health with a thorough eye exam. These comprehensive exams help us identify any underlying conditions that may contribute to digital eye strain.

We also evaluate your individual needs and screen use habits to determine the right course of action for managing your symptoms. With tools like Neurolens and anti-reflective coatings, our team can help you find the right option based on your personal lifestyle and eye health.

Neurolens

Neurolens is a type of prescription eyewear designed to address symptoms of eye misalignment like eye strain with special contoured prism technology. This specialized lens incorporates varying degrees of prismatic power across its surface, gently realigning your eyes to help alleviate discomfort associated with misalignment.

Neurolens can help reduce headaches and other symptoms of eye strain, providing support for your daily comfort and vision needs.

Premium Anti-Reflective Coatings

Staring at screens all day can leave your eyes feeling tired and strained. Glare and reflections from digital devices can significantly contribute to this discomfort.

Premium anti-reflective coatings can help:

Reduce glare and reflections

Provide more comfortable viewing options

Improve visual clarity

Lens Filters

While UV filters primarily protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays, they can also offer indirect benefits in managing digital eye strain. We offer UV filters and blue light lenses that can help reduce blue light exposure, which can contribute to digital eye strain.

This, in turn, can help enhance your overall comfort during extended periods of screen time.

Additional Tips

Some other things you can do to help keep digital eye strain at bay include:

Following the 20-20-20 rule: When you’re looking at a screen, take a 20-second break to focus on an object 20 feet away every 20 minutes. These breaks can help relax your eye muscles and reduce strain.

Adjusting your screen brightness and contrast: Find settings that are comfortable for your eyes and avoid excessively bright or dim environments.

Maintaining good posture: Follow proper ergonomics and sit with good posture while using digital devices to prevent neck and shoulder pain associated with digital eye strain.
