Digital eye strain
Digital eye strain is common at school and in the workplace
Treatment includes correction of refractive error, readers, management of binocular or accomodation problems with lenses or eye exercises.
Anti glare and blue guard coatings on lenses to help manage fatigue.
Exposure to blue light ( eg on phones or computers) may affect sleep resulting in shorter sleep duration, longer sleep onset and sleep deficiency.
Dry eyes
The prevalence of dry eye today is up 50 percent.
This results in decreased work productivity.
Causes of dry eye:
Contact lens wear, laser eye surgery, allergies, computer use, air conditioning and certain medications like the pill can cause dry eye and affect productivity. To treat dry eye associated with eye strain we recommend tear drops and omega 3 fatty acids.
Optometrists can help manage the symptoms.
