It has become a popular opinion that by using digital devices at night, your vision tends to become weaker, which is in fact, true. This has been passed onto us by our parents, and teachers multiple times and we tend to ignore it.

By being in a low-light, we stress our eyes more to picture our vision clearly, making it harder for the retina to keep up with its intrinsic cycle.

Although, the research suggests that by doing so, you can't permanently damage your eyes but can have disturbing long-term eye conditions such as the digital eyestrain or the most common: computer vision syndrome, the world suffers from.

Despite challenges, there are some tips and tricks to keep up with the habit of using digital devices that inflate your eyes with the hazardous blue light rays. You can keep, save, and maintain a clear vision by understanding the context of this problem. Why does it occur, what should be the precautions, and when you should start wearing blue light blocking glasses.

 

 

 

Can Reading in the Dark Hurt Your Eyes?

 

Reading in the dark is more likely to cause temporary eye strain rather than permanent damage. Eye strain happens when your eyes work harder to see clearly. It's not usually serious, but it can feel uncomfortable and make tasks like digital surfing harder.

 

Some common signs of eye strain include:

 

• Dry, burning, or itchy eyes
• Blurry vision
• Headaches
• Sensitivity to light

Reading in the dark can also cause neck and shoulder pain. Without enough light, you might tend to lean forward while reading, which can make the muscles in your neck and shoulders tense up.
