One Hour of Smartphone Scrolling Causes Eye Strain
26 Sep 2025
Just one hour of scrolling on your smartphone is enough to trigger measurable eye strain, reducing how often you blink and leaving your eyes dry and tired Social media reels are harder on your eyes than reading or watching videos because constant brightness changes force your pupils to adjust nonstop Eye strain builds over time, with the most noticeable discomfort showing up after the 40-minute mark, when blinking patterns become irregular Nearly all participants in the study reported dryness, fatigue, and blurred vision, proving that the measurable eye changes match real-world discomfort Simple lifestyle steps like reducing screen time, taking longer breaks, cutting out blue light at night, improving nutrition, and spending more time outdoors protect your eyes from daily screen stress
