Abstract: Technology dependence becomes so great in our daily routines and lifestyle demands that it negatively impacts our day-to-day health. Regular use of laptop computers for work purposes negatively impacts eye health, deteriorates eyesight, and starts an aging process that alters the physiology of the refractive surface and raises the risk of retinal degeneration. In addition, prolonged indoor work during business hours while using digital gadgets may result in peripheral defocus.
Pathological myopia and the advancement of myopia are frequently caused by peripheral defocus. In addition, a prolonged period of time spent inside in front of an air-conditioned computer screen may be the cause of decreased blinking rate and an increased propensity for dryness. In addition to the professional use that occurs these days, school-age children suffer from the overuse of digital devices and excessive close work due to factors like study load assessments, online learning, meetings, note-taking for assignments, and other activities that compel students to use digital devices excessively and for extended periods of time.
Overuse of digital screens may reduce blink frequency and hazardous blue light emissions. Additionally, exposure may result in weariness, ocular constriction, cumulative stress, and eye strain. We have read a great deal of study on the symptoms of digital eye strain and dry eyes. Here, we'll go over the telltale signs and symptoms of digital eye strain, how it affects ocular health, how to treat it properly, how to practice vision exercises, and general preventative advice for people who use digital screens to protect their eyes.
Objectives
. The impact of everyday technology use on eye and overall health
. Symptoms of dry eyes and digital eye strain are discussed.
. Pathophysiology and ocular problems associated with prolonged use of digital screens. The percentage of patients with computer vision syndrome among frequent users of computers
Expected outcome . Based on an analysis of the greatest number of articles, it is estimated that 80-90% of computer users experience eye strain or weariness.
. In most situations, prolonged exposure to digital screens and short wavelength blue light can negatively impact ocular health, causing symptoms such as fatigue, stress, neck discomfort, burning feeling in the eyes, redness, reflex watering, changes in intraocular pressure, and advancement of refractive errors.
. When studying to the fullest, pay attention to your head and neck position, use a digital screen, and reduce the rate at which you blink.
