Discover how screen exposure affects more than just your eyes — and how to protect yourself.

Eye Fatigue
Do your eyes feel sore, unfocused, or overly sensitive to light after long screen sessions?
Blue light tires the visual system, leading to blurred vision, eye pain, or trouble concentrating.
These may be early signs of ocular fatigue, often seen in people who spend long hours on computers.

Dry Eyes
Are your eyes dry, gritty, or more easily irritated after prolonged screen use?
Staring at digital screens reduces blink rate, causing tear instability and increased ocular dryness.
If left unaddressed, this can lead to chronic eye irritation or even vision fluctuations over time.

Headaches and Migraines
Do you often experience tension headaches or migraines after screen use, especially in the late afternoon?
Prolonged exposure to blue light can overstimulate the brain, leading to visual fatigue and light-induced discomfort.
Individuals with light sensitivity may experience worsening symptoms, especially without screen protection.

Poor Sleep Quality
Ever find it harder to fall asleep after scrolling through your phone or watching a screen at night?
Blue light delays melatonin release, disrupting the body’s sleep rhythm and making rest harder to come by.
Over time, this can lead to sleep disorders, especially in teens, children, and night-time screen users.

Increased Sugar Intake
Late-night screen sessions leave you craving sweets the next day?
Poor sleep and blue light can disrupt appetite signals, leading to cravings and blood sugar swings.
Over time, this may raise the risk of prediabetes, especially in adults with sedentary routines or irregular sleep patterns.

Screen-Induced Skin Aging
Seeing more dark spots or uneven tone after heavy screen use — even with regular skincare?
Blue light can trigger pigmentation and speed up visible skin aging.
These may be signs of screen-related skin damage, especially in women sensitive to light exposure.

Early-Onset Eye Aging
Have your eyes been feeling more tired or less sharp after regular screen use?
Blue light can speed up natural lens aging, leading to early signs of cataracts or a decline in visual clarity — once considered issues of much later life.
More people are now noticing these changes sooner than expected, making early protection more important than ever.

Long-Term Vision Damage
Wondering how screen time affects your long-term vision?
Blue light can damage cells in the retina and macula — areas essential for sharp, central vision.
This damage is often irreversible and can’t be corrected with glasses or surgery. That’s why early protection matters — for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen-Related Health Risks
Digital eye strain may start with mild discomfort — like dry eyes or blurry vision — but it doesn’t stop there.
Prolonged screen exposure without protection can lead to persistent headaches, sleep disruption, and even long-term vision problems.
Ignoring these symptoms may worsen the damage and make recovery harder over time.
Early prevention is key.

- Use certified blue light filters like Reticare®
- Apply the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds
