Digital Eye Strain

Digital eye strain is the cluster of physical symptoms — dryness, headaches, blurred vision, neck tension — tied to extended screen time, which can intersect with sleep, attention, and mood concerns. Evidence-based supports include behavioral and ergonomic interventions, CBT when symptoms are anxiety-linked, and coordinated care with optometry or primary care. Offline.now is building a network of licensed therapists who work with digital eye strain.
