How to reduce digital eye strain

 

In today's digital age, prolonged screen time has become inevitable, leading to a rise in digital eye strain. At Groovy Glasses, we understand the impact of digital devices on eye health and are committed to helping you reduce eye strain and discomfort.

Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, can cause symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and blurred vision. To alleviate these symptoms, it's essential to take regular breaks from screen time and practice the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Additionally, investing in blue light blocking lenses can help reduce the harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens. These lenses are specially designed to filter out high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, which has been linked to increased eye fatigue, disrupted sleep patterns, and long-term retinal stress. By reducing exposure to blue light, these lenses can potentially enhance visual comfort during screen use and may support healthier sleep and overall eye wellness—especially for those who spend hours each day in front of computers, tablets, or smartphones.

At Groovy Glasses, we offer a range of lens options, including blue light blocking technology, to help protect your eyes and enhance your visual comfort.
