VR & Digital Eye Strainĭigital screens make our eyes work harder to focus. As VR screens are similar to other digital screens, VR use can cause digital eye strain.

Many technologies are developing rapidly, making it challenging to understand how each affects our health. Technology is an essential part of our everyday life, for work and play.
