Common symptoms
- Eye fatigue or heaviness
- Dryness or irritation
- Difficulty maintaining comfortable focus
- Head or eye discomfort after prolonged screen use
Listen to your eyes
If discomfort is frequent or persistent, it is worth discussing your symptoms with an eye-care professional rather than assuming that screen use is the only possible cause.
