eye strain

Description

Eye strain is the modern ritual by which our eyes desperately plead for rest from relentless screens. Exposed to the tyranny of blue light no one notices, they endure a pain as absurd as a prideful cat dancing blind. Born of poor posture and endless focus, it is the flip side of our smartphone honeymoon. Resting the eyes should clear one’s vision, yet device dependency only deepens. Behind digital society’s glow, our eyes cry tiny daily tragedies.
