The 2013 edition of the VisionWatch Survey, carried out for The Vision Council, confirms the role that electronic devices
play in eye strain. Television has the highest daily usage – 81.1% of respondents –, followed by smart phones (61.7%), laptops
(60.9%), desktops (58.1%) and tablets (37%). Along with neck and shoulder pain, eye strain is the most common symptom
reported by users. One in twenty described the discomfort as painful or excruciating.
