"blue light"

There’s nothing quite like curling up with a great book. On the other hand, there’s nothing quite as frustrating as not being able to finish your current chapter because your eyes are strained, watery, and feeling tired and achy.

Eye strain, also known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome, is a widespread issue that often affects those who spend long hours reading or working on computer screens.

According to the American Optometric Association, an estimated 60% of American adults report experiencing eye strain on a regular basis. The same report found that over 80% of children aged 10-17 also report frequent symptoms of eye strain, but most often after extended use of a digital device.

Do your eyes ever feel gritty? Sandy? Do they burn? Feel like a foreign body or eyelash is in them at the end of the day? These symptoms are often due to dry eye disease.

It is estimated that dry eye affects nearly 1 in 5 Americans.
