Digital Eye Strain

Say Goodbye to Digital Eye Strain & Dry Eyes in South Florida

If you spend hours on screens—whether for work, school, or gaming—you may be experiencing digital eye strain. Symptoms like dry, irritated eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and trouble focusing are common among adults aged 18-45, especially those who rely on computers, tablets, and smartphones daily. Spending long hours on digital devices can lead to digital eye strain due to a reduced blink rate, accommodative stress, and blue light exposure.

How Digital Eye Strain Contributes To Dry Eyes

When focusing on screens, we tend to blink 50% less, causing tears to evaporate more quickly and leading to dry, irritated eyes. Additionally, extended screen use forces the eye muscles to work harder, resulting in blurry vision, difficulty focusing, and fatigue.
At Blinking Owl Eyecare, we specialize in dry eye relief and digital eye strain solutions for patients across Miami and Broward. Our state-of-the-art eye exams assess your eye health, blinking patterns, and focusing ability to create a customized treatment plan such as prescription dry eye disease drops or IPL/RF (visit this page to learn more about dry eye treatment at blinking owl eyecare)

Treatment With Contact Lenses!

For patients who wear or want to wear contact lenses, we offer the latest technology designed for digital lifestyles, including Biofinity Energys® with Digital Zone Optics® to reduce eye fatigue while keeping your eyes hydrated, MyDay® Daily Disposables with Aquaform® Technology to help retain moisture for all-day comfort, and other moisture-retaining contact lenses to minimize dryness and discomfort for screen users.

Can Digital Eye Strain and Screen Use Affect My Child?:

Yes! Digital eye strain doesn't just affect adults. It also affects children! Recent studies have shown that prolonged screen time as low as even 1 hour daily can increase risks of nearsightedness or myopia. This contributes to the myopia pandemic in children. We can help diagnose and treat your child and decrease digital eye strain through the use of Misight lenses! Visit our Myopia page for more details on this novel FDA approved treatment!
