What Is Digital Eye Strain?

Digital eye strain can result from spending long hours in front of a digital screen without breaks. Intense focus on a digital screen can make your eyes work harder when you are trying to maintain a clear image of the screen.

The average American worker spends 7 hours a day on the computer. Anyone who uses a device with an LED screen could experience symptoms of digital eye strain (laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.).

How to Avoid Digital Eye Strain

The 20-20-20 Rule

The 20-20-20 rule says that every 20 minutes, look away from your screen for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away. This gives your eyes a chance to relax and reminds you to blink.

Setting up an eye-friendly workstation can help reduce your digital eye strain symptoms and promote overall wellness.

Here are a few tips to make your office setup more user-friendly:

  • Set your monitor up just below eye level at an arm’s length from your face
  • Lower the brightness of your screen so it’s not brighter than the light in your room or office
  • Adjust your chair so your feet are flat on the ground & your arms aren’t too elevated
  • Remind yourself to blink regularly throughout the day
  • Try to avoid excessive “near work” (holding materials or devices close to your face)
