Digital eye strain is becoming increasingly common as screen time continues to rise. Because the retina is actually brain tissue, prolonged screen use can affect both eye health and brain function.
The ciliary muscle controls the lens of the eye, allowing you to focus on objects that are near or far away. Extended screen time keeps this muscle contracted for hours at a time, making it difficult for the eyes to relax.
During the first few hours of screen use, you may not notice any symptoms. As screen time continues, your blink rate can drop significantly, reducing the lubrication of the eyes and contributing to digital eye strain.
After several hours of continuous screen use, the ciliary muscle can lose its ability to fully relax, similar to a muscle cramp. This may contribute to eye fatigue, difficulty focusing, dizziness, disorientation, reduced peripheral vision, and other symptoms associated with prolonged screen exposure.
One of the best ways to reduce eye strain and support eye health is to regularly look into the distance and spend time outdoors. Try leaving the house without your phone for 20 minutes and allow your gaze to naturally drift. Taking frequent breaks outside can help relax the eyes, support healthy vision, and may help reduce the risk of myopia.
