Addressing Digital Eye Strain as a Source of Chronic Headaches

In today’s technology driven world, screen time is almost unavoidable. From computers to smartphones, many of us spend hours a day staring at digital devices, and while we may associate this with fatigue or blurry vision, few realize it could also be the cause of chronic headaches.
 

The Link Between Digital Eye Strain and Headaches

Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, occurs when the eyes become fatigued from prolonged use of screens. Symptoms often include dry eyes, blurry vision, neck and shoulder pain, and most notably, frequent headaches. These headaches tend to develop after extended screen use and can persist long after you’ve stepped away from your device.
 

A key reason behind this discomfort is something called binocular vision dysfunction, which occurs when your eyes struggle to work together as a team. Small misalignments in eye alignment can force your visual system to work overtime, leading to discomfort and headaches.
