Digital Eye Strain
Overview
Digital Eye Strain (also known as Computer Vision Syndrome) is a growing concern in our screen-dependent world. Prolonged use of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop monitors forces your eyes to work harder than normal — causing a cluster of symptoms that affect vision, comfort, and productivity. At Amma Eye Care, we offer a dedicated assessment and management programme to diagnose the root cause of your digital eye fatigue and provide lasting relief through a personalised combination of optical corrections, therapeutic drops, and evidence-based lifestyle guidance.
