As times change, technology adapts accordingly. Nowadays, digital devices are used more frequently, starting from when we wake up until before we go to sleep. Naturally, the behavior of people in this era has changed. Most people spend long hours or even the entire day looking at screens, which means they focus their eyes on one spot for extended periods, whether it be reading books, using computers, tablets, or smartphones. This certainly affects eye health.

Digital eye strain refers to a group of symptoms caused by eye discomfort. Symptoms may include eye fatigue throughout the day, double vision, eye irritation, blurred or fluctuating vision, and headaches, typically occurring towards the end of the day. This is caused by prolonged use of digital devices for long periods, often at a close range of about 30 – 40 cm, compared to previous generations. This puts extra strain on the eye muscles from focusing up close. Once the eye muscles are overworked, they may no longer be able to maintain focus, leading to the symptoms mentioned above. Pay attention to whether you experience these symptoms.

Digital lenses, or lenses designed to relieve eye strain, are specifically created to address the needs of people in this digital age who spend long hours staring at screens. They are especially beneficial for working adults or people aged 20 – 40 years. The lenses are designed to help relax the eyes by incorporating a mild positive power at the bottom of the lens. This helps make close-up viewing more comfortable, allowing the eyes to focus more easily and quickly. It improves clarity at all distances, providing comfort and relief for the eyes while making close-up viewing more comfortable.
