Effect of Digital Screens on Eye

Throughout the average day we are constrained to multiple digital devices and screens, like cell phones, tablets, computers, and television screens.  It seems like we should avoid regular watching of some piece of technology that literally surrounds us. Some studies showed that people are spending more than half of their day using technology, while others have disclosed that their technology usage consumes 10-12 hours of time in a day.  Some common effects that technology can show on eye health due to persistent use of devices and screens throughout the day are:

• Headaches and Migraines
• Computer Vision Syndrome
• Retina Damage
• Less Blinking
• Closer Focus
• Uncomfortable Angles
