Have you ever gotten a headache from spending too much time staring at a screen? Although researchers have yet to determine the long-term effects of the digital world we are living in, you probably know from personal experience that staring at a screen can cause what scientists call "digital eye strain," or "computer vision syndrome." The most common symptoms of this are blurred vision, headaches, and pain in the neck and shoulders.
But what exactly about screens causes those symptoms? That's somewhat of a mystery too.
