Helping You Find Relief
If your eyes feel tired, dry, or strained after a long day of screen time, you may be experiencing digital eye strain. Also known as computer vision syndrome, it’s a condition that affects millions of people who spend extended periods in front of screens.
Our team takes digital discomfort seriously. We work with you to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and build a personalized plan to restore clarity and comfort.
Request AppointmentWhat Is Digital Eye Strain?
Digital eye strain symptoms affect your vision and comfort after prolonged screen use. Common symptoms include:
- Eye fatigue or soreness
- Headaches or migraines
- Blurry vision
- Dry or watery eyes
- Neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Trouble focusing between distances
- Burning or gritty eyes
A few hours of poorly supported screen time can strain your eyes. The good news? Our team can help.
What Causes Digital Eye Strain?
Digital eye strain occurs when your eyes work harder than they should to keep things clear and comfortable. Our doctors will evaluate your eyes and how you use them, so we can make small adjustments with a big impact.
Several factors can contribute to digital eye strain, and our team can help you find the right solutions.
Simple Habits to Help Your Eyes Reset
One of the easiest ways to relieve digital eye strain is to give your eyes regular breaks. Try incorporating the 20-20-20 rule into your routine.
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
This helps your eye muscles relax and reduces fatigue. You could also try:
- Blinking more frequently to keep eyes hydrated
- Adjusting screen brightness to match your environment
- Increasing text size or screen contrast
- Using artificial tears for dryness
We’ll walk you through even more personalized tips during your visit.
Avlux Lenses for Light-Sensitive Eyes
Some patients experience discomfort and headaches triggered by specific wavelengths of light. Avulux lenses are designed to filter these wavelengths, reducing light sensitivity and helping you see more comfortably.
Avulux may be included as part of a personalized plan, tailored to your daily activities and visual needs, to improve comfort both indoors and outdoors.
Less Fatigue & More Comfort
Digital screens are here to stay, but that doesn’t mean your discomfort has to. We’ll help you understand what’s really behind your symptoms and create a plan that works for you.

What Our Patients are Saying
Wonderful experience from my initial call through to making my next appointment! The office team are friendly, professional, efficient, and kind. Dr. Deese took the time to listen to my concerns, examine my eye, explain my treatment plan and answer any questions. He is super personable and clearly very knowledgeable. I highly recommend the practice!
Michele
I’ve been coming here for a few years, but my former eye doctor retired last year, so my most recent appointment was with Dr. Wong. He was very thorough. I appreciated him indulging all my questions about the purpose of each machine, as well as, how different parts of the eye function. Great, seamless appointment.
Peighton
Dr Parsons is delightful. I’ve been going to Grove Eye Care for many years and when my doctor retired I was thinking maybe I’d look for someone closer to my home. But after meeting her and her caring professional team, I decided to stay…and am very happy I did!
Kathie
Dr. Parsons has been taking care of me and my family for years. The staff is amazing and very welcoming every time that I visit. They have state of the art equipment and technology. Dr. Parsons takes the time to thoroughly examine my eyes and she explains what she is doing step by step. The entire office is very clean and the environment is awesome!
Chaz
Top Notch! I had very nice experience. All the staff were very professional. My appointment on time. I was treated with the upmost of care and respect. All the care I was given was explained step by step not just of tests, but the why they were being done. My doctor made sure I understood the purpose of my whole exam. I was blown away by the attention I received. I appreciate their care.
Johnie
This was my first visit to your office. Everyone was helpful, polite positive and seem to enjoy their jobs. The girls at the front desk were fantastic. One even let me borrow her air pump to pump up my motorcycle tire. The doctor and the assistant eye specialist were excellent. Everything was explained to me and done in a professional manner.
