Digital Eye Strain Symptoms
- Headaches
- Sore, tired eyes; pain/pressure around the eyes
- Blurred vision
- Irritation to the eyes
- Double vision
- Watery eyes and/or dry eyes
- Stinging/burning sensation to the eyes
- Neck pain and/or shoulder and upper back pain
How to Prevent Digital Eye Strain
- Make sure to sit an arm’s length away from the computer screen. Being too far or too close to the computer screen can cause your eyes to have to focus harder
- Ensure your monitor brightness matches the brightness in the room
- Cut down overhead lights (such as overhead fluorescent lighting), and consider using a floor lamp or another source of indirect light
- Use an anti-glare film over your monitor
- Upgrade your monitor, especially if you are using an older monitor. New screens offer higher resolution and are less straining for the eyes
- Anti-glare coating on your glasses
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule. This means that for every 20 minutes of up close work, take a 20 second break and look 20 feet away
- Increase the font size on your computer
- Use artificial tears, especially when your eyes are dry and red
- Blue-light blocker filter on your glasses
