This Independence Day, Get Freedom from Digital Eye Strain

Author: itone | 2026-08-14

Celebrating the nation’s freedom is only one aspect of liberation; another is freeing oneself from behaviours that unintentionally affect one’s health.

With the introduction of digital screens in our lives, we are spending less time observing nature and far more time staring at screens. Mornings start with emails, days get filled up with video conferences, and evenings are spent browsing through the screens. Digital screens have brought us closer, but they have also introduced a new challenge: digital eye strain.

To relieve yourself of tired, dry, and strained eyes on this Independence Day, ITONE encourages you to commit to using our eye drops for digital eye strain.

How Screens Colonised Our Eyes

As estimated for the year 2024, Indians used up 1.1 trillion hours of smartphone usage alone, or 5 hours a day. It was mainly due to endless browsing on social media, viewing videos, and playing games. Considering the additional time spent on laptops at work, tablets for studies, and television playing in the background, it appears that there was a second shift for eyes which they didn’t sign up for.

The occupation is measurable, and looking at the statistics makes one feel uneasy. The frequency of digital eye strain is estimated to be around 66% worldwide. Research conducted in India has shown the same rate, where some researchers estimate the number to be even as high as 65%. Researchers discovered that one in three members of the general public experiences dry eyes and digital eye strain. This number rose to almost 70% in the case of young professionals and college students. (1)

The Chain We’ve Never Noticed

There are symptoms associated with every task, and this one is no exception. Digital eye strain rarely manifests as a single complaint. Symptom as:

• Painful pressure behind or around the eyes
• Red and irritated eyes that get worse as the day goes on
• Blurred or inconsistent vision following long computer sessions
• Seemingly eye-related headaches
• The need to rub or close the eyes without even realising it

Studies have shown that when we are engrossed in a display, our blink rate sharply decreases, sometimes by more than half. Screens require near-constant focus at a fixed distance. Less blinking can lead to less natural hydration, which is precisely why so many screen users eventually search for eye drops to relieve dry eyes.

That’s why any credible digital eye strain treatment must work on two fronts at once: relieving the strain and replenishing moisture that eyes lose due to reduced blinking.

There is no treatment for digital eye strain; however, one can manage its symptoms by following the 20-20-20 rule, controlling the brightness of screens, keeping oneself at an appropriate distance from the monitor, blinking frequently, and using ITONE eye drops.
