Most of us spend eight hours or more looking at screens every day, whether it's our work laptops, smartphones, or TVs.

However, did you know as many as 90% of digital device users experience something called digital eye strain*?

If you get dry eyes, blurred vision, or headaches easily, chances are, you may have digital eye strain.

According to leading eye health brand ACUVUE®, digital eye strain has become a very common phenomenon due to our prolonged digital device usage for work and play on a daily basis.

In fact, digital eye strain occurs because we blink up to 60% less when looking at devices, as our eyes tend to focus on what's on-screen. This results in dry, tired eyes, which is a key symptom of digital eye strain.

While digital eye strain can affect anyone, it may be especially apparent for those wearing contact lenses for long hours. That's why if you're a regular contact lens wearer, it's important to find a pair that can help your eyes keep up with the demand of heavy device usage.

*According to a study published by Clinical and Experimental Optometry 2019 on the management of digital eye strain.
