Screen time in Pakistan has climbed sharply over the past few years. Students attend online classes, office workers spend six to eight hours on laptops, and most people scroll through their phones well into the night. By the end of the day, a familiar discomfort sets in: tired, burning eyes that struggle to focus.<\/p>\n
A study published in the Khyber Medical University Journal (2023) found that 74.1%<\/strong> of medical students at Khyber Medical College Peshawar reported at least one symptom of digital eye strain, with headache and eye pain being the most common complaints. That figure is striking, but it matches what eye specialists across Lahore and Karachi see in their clinics every week.<\/p>\n The good news is that eye strain from screens is almost always reversible. The right habits, applied consistently, make a real difference.<\/p>\n
