Eye Care for Digital Screen Users

Helping You See Clearly and Comfortably While Using Your Digital Devices

Computers, smartphones, and other digital devices are part of everyday life. We use them to work, learn, communicate, do business and enjoy entertainment. However, spending long hours on digital screens can sometimes lead to tired eyes, dryness, blurred vision, headaches, and other forms of eye discomfort.

At Kesona Eye Centre, we provide professional, personalized eye care to help you maintain healthy eyes and see clearly and comfortably while using digital devices.

Prolonged screen use can place considerable demands on your eyes, particularly when you spend several hours working at close distances without adequate breaks

Digital Eye Strain

Your eyes may feel tired, heavy or uncomfortable after spending several hours working on a computer or using your phone. You may also experience headaches or difficulty concentrating on visually demanding tasks.

Dry Eye and Irritation

People tend to blink less frequently and sometimes incompletely when concentrating on digital screens. This can contribute to dryness, burning, gritty sensations, redness and fluctuating vision.

Blurred Vision and Difficulty Focusing

You may notice that your vision becomes blurry after prolonged screen use or that it takes some time to refocus when looking away from your screen.

These symptoms may be associated with prolonged near work, uncorrected vision problems or other visual conditions

Light Sensitivity and Glare

Bright screens, reflections and poorly positioned lighting can make screen use uncomfortable for some people.

You may experience glare, increased sensitivity to light or difficulty viewing your screen comfortably under certain lighting conditions.

Difficulty Seeing Clearly at Your Working Distance

Not everyone has the same visual requirements. Some people may struggle to see clearly at the distance between their eyes and their computer screen, even when they can see well at other distances.

This may become more noticeable as you get older or when your existing glasses are not suited to your working distance.

Digital screens can contribute to visual discomfort for several reasons. These include:

  • Prolonged near work: Focusing on nearby objects for extended periods can contribute to visual fatigue.
  • Reduced blinking: Concentrating on screens can reduce blinking and affect the stability of the tear film.
  • Uncorrected vision problems: Even relatively small prescription errors may become more noticeable during prolonged computer work.
  • Inappropriate lenses: Glasses that work well for reading or distance vision may not always provide comfortable vision at computer working distances.
  • Lighting and glare: Reflections, excessive brightness and unsuitable lighting can make screen viewing uncomfortable.
  • Screen habits and positioning: Long periods without breaks, unsuitable viewing distances and poor screen positioning can contribute to discomfort.

Understanding what is contributing to your symptoms is important because the most suitable solution will depend on the underlying cause.

At Kesona Eye Centre, our approach goes beyond simply recommending glasses for screen use. We assess your vision, consider how you use digital devices and help you find suitable solutions for your individual needs.

Comprehensive Eye Examination

We examine your vision and eye health to identify problems that may be contributing to eye strain, dryness, blurred vision or other symptoms.

Depending on your needs and examination findings, this may include assessing your distance and near vision, determining your lens prescription, examining your eye health and carrying out additional tests where indicated

    Personalized Treatment and Suitable Lenses for Screen Use

    Not everyone has the same visual needs when using digital devices. We consider how you use your eyes throughout the day, including your working distances, the type of digital devices you use, the amount of time you spend on them, your screen-use habits and individual visual needs.

    With this information and your eye examination findings, we are able to recommend appropriate treatment and visual solutions suited to your needs. These may include managing dry eye, correcting vision problems or recommending suitable lenses for screen use and other daily activities.

    We also explain the available options to help you make informed decisions about your treatment and choose lenses that support clear and comfortable vision during your daily activities.

    We provide practical guidance to help you use digital devices more comfortably.

    This may include advice on taking visual breaks, blinking habits, screen positioning, lighting, glare reduction and other adjustments suited to your needs.

    At Kesona Eye Centre, we understand that digital devices are an important part of modern life and that your eyes need to function comfortably during the activities that matter to you.
