Digital eye strain OCULA

How to reduce digital eye strain

In today's digital age, many of us spend prolonged periods in front of screens, whether for work, leisure, or socialising.

However, this increased screen time can take a toll on our eyes, leading to symptoms of digital eye strain such as eye fatigue, dryness, and discomfort. At OCULA, we understand the impact of digital eye strain on our patients' lives and are committed to providing practical solutions to alleviate these symptoms.

To reduce digital eye strain, it's essential to take regular breaks from screen time, adjust the lighting and screen settings on your devices, and practice the 20-20-20 rule – taking a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes. Additionally, using artificial tears can help keep your eyes lubricated and comfortable throughout the day.

If you're experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain, don't hesitate to book an eye test with us at OCULA. Our experienced optometrists can assess your eye health and provide personalised recommendations to help you alleviate discomfort and protect your vision in the digital age.
