The rise of remote work, social media, and gaming has significantly increased screen time for many people. In many cases, this increased use has a downside: digital eye strain (DES), which affects millions and can lead to discomfort, headaches, and even neck pain.
But there’s good news—Neurolens offers a modern solution to these modern problems. If you suffer from any of the DES symptoms listed below, reach out to Hartland Eye Care to discover how we can offer relief.
The Growing Screen Time Epidemic
In the past decade, average daily screen time has skyrocketed by 50%, with many people spending over seven hours daily on digital devices. Remote work and the shift to online communication have further cemented screens as a constant presence in our daily lives. While these advances in technology offer convenience and connectivity, they also put unprecedented strain on our eyes.
What Is Digital Eye Strain?
Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome (CVS), occurs when prolonged screen use causes discomfort. Common symptoms include:
- Blurry or double-vision
- Eye fatigue or dryness
- Headaches
- Neck and shoulder pain
The primary culprit behind these symptoms is how our eyes focus on screens, combined with poor ergonomics, a reduced blink rate, and blue light exposure. Additionally, individuals with slight eye misalignments often suffer more as their eyes struggle to remain focused for extended periods.
How Neurolens Can Help
Neurolens is an innovative technology designed to alleviate the symptoms of digital eye strain by addressing eye misalignment. These lenses include a contoured prism that brings the eyes into alignment, reducing the strain on your visual system.
Clinical studies show that Neurolens users experience significant relief from:
- Headaches caused by extended screen use
- Neck pain due to poor posture during digital tasks
- Eye discomfort, including dryness and fatigue
Neurolens Benefits Beyond Digital Eye Strain
While Neurolens is a game-changer for anyone who spends long hours on screens, its benefits extend to individuals who experience migraines, chronic neck tension, or other vision-related discomforts. By correcting eye alignment, Neurolens improves the quality of life for many users, making it an excellent investment in long-term eye health.
