Digital eye strain refers to a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged use of digital devices. When you focus on screens for extended periods, your eyes work harder than usual due to:

• Reduced blinking rate
• Continuous focusing effort
• Exposure to blue light
• Glare and poor lighting conditions

Unlike reading from paper, digital screens demand constant adjustment from the eye’s focusing system, known as accommodation. This leads to fatigue in the ciliary muscles, which are responsible for focusing.
