Excessive Smartphone Use Among Young People Leading to Dry Eyes

In today’s digital age, smartphones have become an indispensable part of young people’s daily lives. Whether for social media, online learning, or entertainment, prolonged screen time has significantly increased, leading to dry eyes, eye strain, and even long-term vision problems. This condition, known as Digital Eye Strain (DES), occurs due to reduced blinking while focusing on screens, causing insufficient tear production and eye discomfort.

  • Reduced blinking rate: Staring at screens for long hours decreases natural blinking, leading to tear evaporation.

  • Blue light exposure: Prolonged exposure to blue light from screens disrupts tear film stability, causing dryness.

  • Improper screen distance: Holding phones too close increases strain on the eyes.

  • Extended usage without breaks: Constant screen exposure without rest aggravates dryness and fatigue.
