Eye Strain, Reduced Attention, And Emotional Fatigue: The Problem Of The Digital Generation
Abstract
This article explores the growing issues of eye strain, attention decline, and emotional fatigue among students and young people in the digital age. Based on the research of Professors Sheppard and Wolffsohn, the paper discusses the symptoms and causes of “Digital Eye Strain” and its effects on mental and physical health. It also presents findings from studies conducted in Singapore, highlighting how excessive screen time negatively affects focus, sleep quality, and overall well-being. The article emphasizes preventive strategies such as applying the 20-20-20 rule, performing eye exercises, limiting blue light exposure, and maintaining proper rest and sleep schedules. In conclusion, while complete avoidance of digital devices is unrealistic, responsible and balanced use of technology can help preserve visual health and psychological stability.
