GLARE

Glare occurs when too much light enters the eye and interferes with vision. It can be distracting and even dangerous and can occur during the day or at night. Dirty and scratched lenses can exacerbate the effects of glare. Several optical solutions are available. Anti-glare coatings, photochromic, and polarised lenses are very effective against glare.

Common symptoms of computer vision syndrome include eyestrain, headaches, blurry vision, dry eyes, tired eyes, and even neck and shoulder pain related to head and eye tension. While cutting out all screens is nearly impossible, developing consciousness about responsible screen use
