Help Your Eyes Keep Up with Digital Life
Our devices have become essential to daily life, keeping us entertained, connected, and productive—whether we’re binge-watching our favourite series, racing to finish a deadline, or video-chatting with loved ones.
However, all this screen time can be taxing on our eyes, often leading to digital eye strain, an uncomfortable and irritating condition that affects millions. If you’re experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain, don’t wait to seek relief. Contact us today, and let our team help you find the soothing solutions you need to protect your vision and comfort.
What Is Digital Eye Strain?
Digital eye strain is a type of eye strain that develops because of extended device use. Common symptoms can include:
- Redness
- Irritation
- Watery eyes
- Headaches
- Light sensitivity
- Blurry vision
- Double vision
Poor posture and ergonomics can lead to neck and back soreness, as can digital eye strain. However, eye strain isn’t limited to screen use—it can arise from any visually demanding task, including reading, writing, or driving.
Managing Your Symptoms
There are several ways we can help manage your digital eye strain symptoms. One of the most common ways is by using eye drops, but there are some strategies you can use to find relief, like:
- Adjusting your workplace ergonomics to make sure your screen is just below eye level and arm’s length away.
- Taking regular breaks while working for long periods (the 20-20-20 rule).
- Reducing glare by angling your screen away from light sources.
- Adjusting your brightness and contrast settings.
We recommend speaking with our team if you experience digital eye strain regularly. There may be a chance you have an uncorrected vision problem that could be contributing to your symptoms.

If you’re experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain—such as dryness, fatigue, or blurred vision, schedule an appointment with our team today, and we can help explore personalized solutions tailored to your lifestyle.
