Computer Vision Syndrome
Digital screens emit blue light that can cause uncomfortable strain on your eyes. This eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, can lead to headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck and shoulder pain.
How Blue Light Affects You
Blue light rays are short, high-energy electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye. While blue light occurs naturally in the world, our exposure to it has spiked as we have transitioned into the digital era and started using screens for longer periods of time. While there isn’t much peer-reviewed evidence that shows blue light permanently damages your eyes, it does produce uncomfortable strain on the eye muscles, as well as the neck and shoulders.
