Why your computer screen hurts your eyes (and how to help)

Computer vision syndrome is a common issue that many people face in today’s digital age. If your monitor is causing eye pain, there could be several factors at play. It’s essential to identify the root cause of the problem to alleviate any discomfort and protect your eye health.

One study published in Nature suggests that prolonged use of electronic devices, such as computers, laptops, phones, and tablets, can contribute to computer vision syndrome. Symptoms of this syndrome include eye watering, double vision, dryness of the eyes, and general eye pain. If you experience any of these symptoms while using screens, it’s crucial to consult with your eye doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

There are various reasons why monitors can cause eye strain. One common factor is the height of the monitor. Studies have shown that higher screens can lead to increased eye strain compared to lower screens. It’s recommended to position your monitor at eye level or slightly lower to reduce strain on your neck and eyes.

The distance at which you view your monitor is also important. Optimal viewing distance is typically between 60 and 100 cm (2 to 3.4 feet) away from the screen. Sitting too close to the monitor can increase visual strain, so it’s essential to adjust your seating position accordingly.

The size of your monitor can also impact eye strain. While there are conflicting opinions on screen size and eye health, smaller screens are generally considered more comfortable for the eyes. Optometrists recommend using smaller screens to reduce eye strain and promote healthier eye habits.

Refresh rate and screen flickering can also contribute to eye fatigue. Monitors with a refresh rate of at least 60Hz are recommended to minimize screen flickering. Additionally, choosing a monitor with flicker-free technology can further reduce eye strain and fatigue.

Other factors to consider when selecting a monitor include resolution, blue light exposure, brightness levels, and backlighting style. While higher resolution screens may offer sharper details, they may not necessarily affect eye fatigue. Blue light exposure can impact sleep patterns, so it’s essential to manage screen time before bedtime.

In conclusion, taking steps to avoid computer vision syndrome with your next monitor can help protect your eye health. Look for monitors with TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certification, consider curved monitors for reduced eye strain, and be mindful of your viewing habits and environment. By making informed choices about your monitor setup, you can enjoy a more comfortable and eye-friendly computing experience.
