Digital eye strain isn’t just about screen time—it can stem from outdated prescriptions or glasses or contacts aren’t ideal for up-close work. Poor posture or even a bad desk setup can add muscle tension and make things worse.
When your eyes or posture aren’t properly supported, they tire faster. That’s why even people with “good vision” can struggle with discomfort during work or school.
Relief from digital eye strain starts with a proper diagnosis and the tools to support your eyes during screen-heavy days. We’ll tailor solutions based on your vision and how you use your screens.
These solutions work well when customized to your specific vision and habits.
In addition to professional care, a few easy changes to your routine can make a big difference in comfort and focus.
Minor adjustments like these support long-term vision health and help you feel better day to day.
Kids spend more time on screens than ever before, and their eyes are feeling it. Symptoms like headaches or eye rubbing can point to digital strain, but another concern is myopia (nearsightedness).
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry. It’s an eye condition that’s becoming increasingly more common globally, partly due to increased screen use and reduced outdoor time. Spending time outside can help, and our myopia management supports long-term vision health.
The discomfort of digital eye strain doesn’t have to be part of your daily life. We’re here to help you see clearly and feel better, whether for work, school, or everything in between.
