Burn Baby Burn: Managing Screen Burnout
Published in Rebekah Davies, Navigating Telehealth for Speech and Language Therapists, 2023
Screens can give you dry eye, and no one wants to deal with the discomfort of that on top of everything else. Over the counter remedies to spray on are available to hydrate itchy, scratchy eyes, but it's important to regularly get your eyes tested. Eye strain can make you feel even more tired and exhausted. Anti-glare coatings might sound like a gimmick but can make a real difference if you are wearing glasses all day, both to the person wearing and those engaging with them. I have recently had my glasses treated for the first time and it's made a big difference to the level of headache I get.

Remember: When selecting colors, consider that many people are colorblind and adjust your final design to make your findings easily read by different viewers. There are many different color combinations that viewers have difficulty distinguishing. To make your poster appealing to the widest readership, be sure to check the contrast in each section and choose a color scheme that does not cause eye strain. If you have color images, it is helpful to look at your final poster in gray scale to see if your main findings still stand out as you expect. In addition to using colors, where possible, use additional features such as icons, arrows, or pictographs to get your point across.

Check functional vision/eye movements with an optometrist to ensure eye strain and visual tracking are not a problem. This needs to be in addition to an optician’s report (see BABO in the ‘Professional organisations’ section). Eye exercises moving eyes from near to far points and back may be helpful.

The questionnaire had three parts: (i) to capture the demographic details, (ii) to understand the pattern of gadget usage, (iii) to assess the degree of eye strain experienced. Grading of DES was estimated using the frequency and intensity of 16 symptoms. Scoring was as follows: Frequency: Never (score 0), sometimes (score 1) (once a week, sporadic episodes), and always (score 2) (more than 2–3 times a week). The intensity was graded as moderate (score 1) and intense (score 2). The result of (frequency X intensity) was re-coded as: 0 = 0; 1 or 2 = 1; 4 = 2. Final DES was estimated as follows:

Eye strain is characterised by the feeling of pain, ache and tiredness of or around the eye.1990 The exact mechanism behind eye strain is not clear. However, uncorrected refractive error, particularly astigmatism, has been found to be a major cause of eye strain, especially for symptoms of headache and tired eyes.1990 For instance, Wiggins and Daum,1991 Gowrisankaran et al.2012 and Rosenfield et al.2012 found greater eye strain when astigmatism was deliberately induced while reading on a computer (unknown, 60 cm, and 50 cm viewing distances, respectively). Separately, Kotegawa et al.2008 reported that optimum correction of myopia improves symptoms among computer workers.
Effect of digital device use during COVID-19 on digital eye strain

The incidence of DES was found to be 78% (1,510/1,939), with participants reporting one or more of DES-related symptoms. The most-reported symptoms were eye strain (51%), followed by headache and dryness (37% each). The percentages of all reported DES symptoms are shown in Table 3.
