It happens like this: your eyes burn as if sand has gotten into them, redness, tearing appears, and  eye fatigue sets in by midday. However, these signals are often ignored. Increasingly, they occur in people who spend hours working at a computer or rarely put their smartphones down. Our eyes simply cannot keep up with this pace.

What is actually happening?

During screen use, we blink 2–3 times less frequently. As a result, the tear film that protects the ocular surface breaks up more quickly. In addition, dry office air, air conditioning, and prolonged visual strain contribute to the visual strain. This is how dry eye syndrome develops.

This is not a minor complaint

Dry eye syndrome is a chronic disease of the ocular surface that can progress and significantly reduce quality of life, work capacity, and visual comfort.

Who is at risk?

▪️ office workers
▪️ students and schoolchildren
▪️ contact lens users
▪️ people who spend a lot of time on smartphones and other digital devices

What can help your eyes today?

✔️ take regular breaks from screens
✔️ blink consciously more often
✔️ maintain proper indoor air quality
✔️ consult an ophthalmologist at the first symptoms

Early detection and the right approach to treatment help maintain eye comfort and health, even in the digital age.

Take care of your vision — it does not have an “offline mode.”
