Pattern one
The office worker with a fixed desk
A workstation they cannot change much, often with poor screen height and a vent overhead. Ergonomic advice needs to be realistic about what is actually adjustable.

Sorting the Evidence From the Marketing
Digital eye strain is a large market and a lot of what is sold for it does very little. Blue-light lenses, supplements and screen filters have weak or absent evidence; correcting the optical prescription, the workstation and any underlying vergence deficit has good evidence. We are direct about which is which. Assessment delivered to Delhi by secure telehealth.

Delhi and the NCR
Screen Strain Across Delhi NCR
A dense professional-services and government workforce with long indoor hours, in a city where winter air quality keeps windows shut for weeks.
Pattern two
The long indoor winter
Weeks with windows closed and air purifiers running, which lowers humidity and worsens the surface component considerably.
Pattern three
The long-hours professional
Ten to twelve hour days at near, with the symptoms attributed to the hours rather than to a measurable reserve problem underneath them.
How sessions run
Secure video sessions from home, which removes a cross-city journey that routinely costs two hours for a twenty-minute appointment. The assessment has to see the actual desk, so a session run from the workstation itself tells us more than one run in a clinic room ever could.
Typical schedule
A short course rather than a long one: most of the gain comes from correcting the setup, with therapy only where a measured deficit remains afterwards. Evening and weekend slots are held back for working parents.
What helps before the first session
A photograph of your real workstation, monitor at its usual height and distance. Where dry eye turns out to be the dominant driver we say so and point it elsewhere. A single local appointment settles it.

The ocular surface cannot be examined remotely. Where the history points that way, we specify the test and you have it done locally in one visit.
What Has Evidence
A Short, Honest Hierarchy of Interventions
Ordered by how much difference each one reliably makes, rather than by how heavily each one is marketed.
At the top: correcting an inaccurate or inappropriate prescription for your actual screen distance, and treating an underlying vergence or accommodative deficit where one exists. Both address a cause and both have measurable endpoints. Next: workstation distance and height, lighting, and deliberate blink retraining, which are free and produce real improvement in the surface component.
Below that: lubricating drops, useful symptomatically for the surface and doing nothing for the binocular side. At the bottom: blue-light filtering lenses, which controlled trials have not shown to reliably relieve symptoms, and various supplements and filters with no meaningful evidence at all.
The Cheapest Thing Is Often the Most Effective
Moving a screen from fifty centimetres to seventy-five reduces both convergence and focusing demand substantially, and it costs nothing. We routinely see more symptomatic improvement from that single change than from any product on the market — and we would rather tell you that than sell you a programme you do not need.
How the Programme Is Run
Running Digital Eye Strain Care From a Delhi Home
A telehealth assessment covering your real workstation and visual measurements, with any in-person test named precisely.
01
Establishing the numbers
The real desk documented first, because an assessment conducted at standard clinical distances tells you very little about a workstation you have never seen.
02
Correcting the optics
Four things in rough order of effect: distance, because further is better and a screen at arm's length or beyond reduces demand more than any other single change; then height, lighting and blink rate.
03
The therapy itself
A graded course only where measurement shows a deficit surviving those corrections, delivered as short specified daily practice.
04
Measuring the change
Review against the intake symptom score and measures, with the workstation photographed again so that any quiet regression in the setup is visible rather than inferred.
Worth Assessing
When Screen Strain Deserves a Proper Assessment
01
Symptoms persisting despite a genuinely good workstation setup and consistent breaks.
02
A recent eye test reported as normal, with symptoms unchanged and no explanation offered.
03
Blue-light glasses, lubricants and screen filters already tried without meaningful improvement.
04
Difficulty switching focus between distances, which points at the focusing system rather than at the surface.
05
Symptoms that build across a week and clear over a weekend, which is the signature of a reserve rather than a disease.
Persistent redness, discharge, light sensitivity or vision loss are not digital eye strain and need an eye-health examination promptly.
Common Questions
Digital Eye Strain in Delhi: What Parents Ask Us
I have bought blue-light glasses, a screen filter and drops. Nothing worked. What now?
That sequence is common and it tells us something useful: the surface interventions have been tried and the symptoms persist, which shifts the probability toward a binocular or accommodative cause. The next step is measurement rather than another purchase — fusional vergence ranges and accommodative facility at your real screen distance, plus a refraction check for that distance specifically. If those are all normal we would look at sleep, medication and the ocular surface properly, but we would not suggest another product.
Can this be assessed properly over video?
Most of it. Accommodative facility, vergence ranges and symptom pattern can all be assessed remotely with the targets we post to you, and the workstation review is genuinely better over video because we can see your actual desk rather than hear a description of it. What cannot be done remotely is examining the ocular surface, and if the history points that way we say so and name the specific test to have done locally. We are explicit about that boundary rather than implying everything is covered.
My office will not let me change the desk setup. Is there any point?
Yes, because several of the useful changes are personal rather than structural. Text size, screen brightness relative to the room, deliberate blink protocol, and a dedicated single-vision prescription for your measured screen distance are all within your control and none needs facilities approval. Beyond that, a written recommendation from a clinician specifying a screen distance and height is often enough to get a workstation adjustment approved where a personal request was not.
How do I know whether this is dry eye or a focusing problem?
The symptom patterns overlap heavily, which is why it is worth separating them properly. Surface problems tend to produce burning, grittiness and fluctuating clarity that improves momentarily after a blink. Binocular and accommodative problems tend to produce discomfort that builds with time on task, eases within minutes of stopping, and is worse at closer working distances. Both can be present. The assessment tests for each rather than assuming from the description.
What monitor distance and height should I be working at?
Further than most people sit, and lower than most people place it. An arm's length or a little beyond reduces both accommodative and convergence demand, and the effect of distance is larger than any other single adjustment. The top of the screen should sit at or slightly below eye level, so the gaze angle is mildly downward, which narrows the exposed ocular surface and reduces evaporation. Both changes are free and take a minute.
