Smartphone Vision Syndrome also known as ‘Digital Eye Strain’ is caused due to prolonged usage of smartphones or any other digital device. Here are a few symptoms of smartphone vision syndrome. Tap to read!
Blurred Vision
The constant focus on digital devices strains the eye muscles, making it harder for the eyes to adjust or focus, resulting in blurry vision.
Neck and Shoulder Pain
While using smartphones or other devices, poor posture develops by constantly looking down for prolonged hours, leading to neck and shoulder pains.
Headaches
Prolonged use of digital devices, forcing eyes to read small texts and more can fatigue the eye muscles, leading to eye strain and triggering headaches.
Eyestrain
This syndrome causes eyestrain due to prolonged exposure to blue light and harmful UV rays emitted by the phone, which leads to fatigue in the eye muscles.
Dry Eyes
While using smartphones, the reduced blinking causes the moisture to evaporate from the eyes, leading to dryness and irritation.
