What is Digital Eye Strain?
Digital Eye Strain & Dry Eye – Relief for the Modern Lifestyle
Also known as Computer Vision Syndrome, digital eye strain occurs after prolonged use of digital devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. Staring at screens for hours reduces your blinking rate, causing eye fatigue, dryness, and discomfort.
In today’s digital world, this condition is increasingly common — and treatable with the right care.
What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry Eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. It leads to:
- Burning or stinging sensation
- Gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
- Redness and irritation
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Eye fatigue and discomfort
- Increased watering (reflex tearing due to dryness)

- Difficulty focusing or frequent headaches
- Burning, itching, or watery eyes during or after screen use

Why Do Digital Screens Cause Dryness & Strain?
- Reduced blinking rate while staring at screens

Digital eye strain and dry eye often go hand-in-hand, especially in people working long hours on screens.
