💻 Eye strain is a prevalent issue among UK adults, with 77% reporting discomfort after a long day at work. This widespread problem, known as computer vision syndrome (CVS), is primarily caused by excessive time spent on digital devices. For contact lens wearers, the effects can be even more pronounced, often resulting in severe dry eyes and increased discomfort.

👇 By adopting some simple strategies, contact lens wearers can significantly alleviate symptoms of computer vision syndrome and maintain better eye health. Check out some tips below.
