Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

One day when I woke up, I realized that lights were reflecting like stars and hallows. I ignored everything because it was not affecting me very much, but now I have extreme eye strain, and when I look at my smartphone, it looks like the phone is curved. I do not know what to do. Kindly help me and explain what these are? Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This may be computer vision syndrome due to digital screen usage. You need to hold the screen four to six inches below your eyesight level and blink frequently. Take periodic screen breaks. Also, try to look at far-off objects during the screen breaks. Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
