FAQ
Digital Eye Strain questions
Do blue-control lenses solve all screen strain? +
Not by themselves. Lens choice can help some people, but prescription, dryness, lighting, posture, and breaks are also important.
Why do my eyes feel dry on screens? +
People often blink less when concentrating on screens, which can make tears evaporate faster and cause dryness or watering.
Can old glasses cause screen discomfort? +
Yes. A small prescription change or unsuitable lens design can make computer and near tasks more tiring.
