Screen Fatigue
Many of us stare at computer screens and smartphones for hours every day. However, using our eyes this way can tire out the small muscles that help our eyes focus at near distances. When these muscles get tired, they can feel stiff and sore—just like any other muscle in our body.
The Hidden Harms of Blue Light Exposure
Digital devices emit a specific type of High Energy Visible light (HEV) called blue light. Blue light scatters in the eye more than other kinds of visible light, which means the eyes have to work harder to focus correctly and become exhausted more quickly. Blue light may also affect your circadian rhythms, making it harder to sleep after using screens.
