Eye Strain Headache Treatment

Digital eye strain, or Computer Vision Syndrome, frequently manifests as tension headaches. Immediate relief involves following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Adjusting screen brightness to match ambient lighting and reducing blue light exposure in the evenings can also mitigate symptoms. Proper monitor positioning—roughly an arm’s length away—ensures your eyes don't work harder than necessary. Hydration and deliberate blinking are simple yet effective ways to keep eyes lubricated and prevent the onset of screen-induced headaches.
