Despite the name, digital eye strain is not exclusively tied to digital device use, as digital devices are not the cause of this issue; an intense focus on detailed tasks or close objects for long periods is typically the cause of eye strain for many patients.
Some common symptoms of digital eye strain include:
Whenever digital devices and eyes are mentioned together, one of the most common subjects to come up is blue light and its role in eye comfort.
Recent studies have shown that blue light has less to do with your eye comfort and more to do with your regular sleep schedule. While many devices produce blue light, the largest producer is the sun, and your brain interprets these signals as a cue to be awake and active.
Because your brain interprets blue light in this way, extended use of digital devices has shown to interrupt your circadian rhythm, leading to sleep loss.
Blue light lenses can help mitigate this effect, especially if you like to watch television or use your phone before going to bed.
