Do you have tired eyes?

By the end of your workday do you have tired eyes? Are your eyes dry, sore and have difficulty focusing? Do you have a headache?  These are symptoms of digital eye strain.

Yup, I had digital eye strain

If you answer yes to any of the above, you could be experiencing digital eye strain. This is caused by overexposure to blue light from our digital devices. As an Online Business Manager and Web Designer, I’m pretty much in the same boat as you, sitting in front of our digital device is how we serve our clients and prospective clients.

Little Side Note

Have you heard of the Kolbe A? It is an assessment that identifies the natural way you take action. My high number is fact finer which means, I start everything I do with research.

Enter Research Mode Here

At the end of the day when I had tired eyes that were so exhausted I didn’t even want to open them, I entered into research mode.

What I found out is…

I was suffering from digital eye strain, in this day and age is very common. A solution to digital eye strain is simple, you can purchase computer glasses that reduce the blue light exposure from your digital devices.

With a Google search, you will have more options than you know what to do with. Because I wanted to make sure they would be helpful I just found a pair on Amazon. I did not even give it a second thought I ordered them immediately.

Can you say life changing

These glasses have made a huge difference for me. ((Insert little dance party here)) In the evening my eyes do not feel tired and dry. Nor does my vision seem hazy any longer. My eyes are not tired in the evening and my vision does not seem as blurry as it was in the past. I can tell you from experience that when my first pair broke and I didn’t replace them right away I could tell from my tired eyes I had all the digital eye strain symptoms again.

Here is a bit of my research if you would like to check it out:

Article One: Blue Light – It's Both Bad and Good for you from All About Vision

This had a ton of great information in it. It explains why blue light is needed and why too much of it is bad for our eyes.

 

Article Two: Blue Light and Your Eyes from Prevent Blindness

This article gives a list of what you can do to protect your eyes from blue light.

I did read through a few others, but I found the most information in the two articles above.
