Digital Eye Strain

As our world has continued to evolve digitally, so has our daily usage of technology. Even though our devices allow us to stay connected, their usage is not without repercussions.

If your lifestyle requires you to spend a lot of time in front of a screen, you should be adjusting your screen or eyewear to best protect your eyes. Our practice carries protective eyewear and contact lenses to help protect your eyes.

Visiting for regular eye exams is the best way to help your digital eye strain. We can work with you to find the best solution, reducing your symptoms and bringing your eyes relief. Additionally, we will make sure issues that are more severe are not causing your symptoms.

The irritating symptoms of digital eye strain can affect us all and can quickly become frustrating.

Symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Double vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Watery or dry eyes
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Sore neck, shoulders or back
  • Trouble keeping your eyes open
  • Sore, tired, burning or itching eyes

Protecting yourself from digital eye strain can be easy by making simple changes to your technology use.

Try these adjustments:

  • Follow the 20-20-20 rule
  • Set the brightness of your screen to match your surroundings
  • Keep your screen at an arm’s length from your eyes
  • Keep your screen 20 degrees below eye level

The 20-20-20 Rule

No matter the time you spend on a screen every day, the 20-20-20 rule is one of the best ways to keep your eyes from getting strained digitally. The rule helps to reset the muscles in your eyes, giving them a much needed break!

Every 20 minutes, focus on an object 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds. In only 20 seconds, you are reducing the damage done to your eyes from digital devices.

Following these simple tips will help relieve headaches, blurred vision, and eye strain when you are using digital devices.

Eye Nutrition

Nourishing your eyes is as important as nourishing the rest of your body. A healthy diet that includes leafy greens, fruit, nuts and cold water fish can support your overall vision health.

Studies suggest supplementing your diet with these nutrients can improve your eye health and protect you from eye related issues.

Suggested supplements include:

  • Vitamin A
  • Lutein
  • Zeaxanthin
  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Gamma-linolenic acid
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Zinc

Our Testimonials

Great clinic, the staff are friendly, I didn’t have to wait too long and Dr. Michael Sher was very caring. He carefully examined my eyes with great care and patience. 10/10 Highly recommended.

SARTHAK S.

Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Use of technology and equipment to complete analysis and diagnostics is comforting to identify potential issues or to confirm normal conditions. Dr Mann is typically quite busy but takes time go through the exam findings. That said, I had an emergency situation a couple of years ago and I remain thankful that staff scheduled me past closing time to see Dr Mann. My only suggestion is to improve efforts to keep appointment times on schedule.

MICHAEL H.

I have entrusted Dr. Mann with my own and my 3 children’s eye care for about 20 years. He is thorough, and addresses all questions and concerns. The annual exams take time but it’s only once a year, so it’s worth your peace of mind.

DINNI H.

I’ve been attending Dr. Manns office since I was 8 years old. I’m 26 now. Both he and his team of office associates always do a marvellous job. Always looking out for your health and what’s in your best interest. Dr. Mann is an exceptional optometrist, it’s rare now a days to find doctors who care as much and put in as much time. You and your team are very appreciated Dr. Mann! Thanks always!

ANNETTE R.

I have been going to Dr. Mann for over ten years and have never found a better Doctor. He is very kind, patient and attentive. He cares about your eye health and makes you feel important as he attends to your every need. Every three years he carefully helps me choose a lens that best suits my face and always asks about my family. I really enjoy going to his office and have attended other doctors but will not switch him. I will be travelling from Toronto to see him since I have moved but I look forward to visiting every time! Thank you doctor for all your hard work and for being so attentive.
