Are you a desk worker who uses the computer for long hours daily? Do you notice your head starts to throb and your eyes feel strained in the middle of the day at work? Do you now dread starting your work day because you may end up nursing headaches again on the way home? Are you sick of feeling like you can't focus or be productive because of the nagging pain in your head? You may be experiencing computer screen headaches.
Many people who seek migraine relief in Metro Manila report that working on computers can trigger their symptoms. They usually suffer from headaches after using a computer for extended periods, and it's no surprise considering how much time many spend in front of screens these days. But did you know that these headaches could indicate a larger issue? Your symptoms can only worsen and impact your life unless you deal with its underlying cause.
Possible Causes of Computer Screen Headaches
Computer screens have become a part of our daily lives. Many use it differently for work, school, entertainment, or communication. However, spending a lot of time in front of these computer screens can also bring headaches and may include other symptoms such as blurry vision and dry eyes. The headaches can be either dull or sharp and can be caused by several factors, such as:
#1. Eyestrain
Staring at a computer screen for extended periods can cause eye strain, leading to headaches. Eye strain occurs when the eyes are forced to work harder than usual, such as when reading small text on a screen or looking at a bright display in a dark room.

#2. Blue Light
Computer screens emit blue light, a high-energy visible (HEV) light that can harm your health. Blue light can disrupt your circadian rhythms, also known as the body clock, leading to poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue. It can also cause eye strain and headaches.
#3. Poor Posture
Another contributing factor to computer screen headaches is holding a poor posture for extended periods. For example, when you sit in front of a computer screen, it's common to hunch your shoulders and crane your neck forward. This can put a strain on your neck and shoulder muscles and lead to tension headaches.
In addition, if you hold this posture often, your headaches can become chronic and trigger worse pain. Unfortunately, several people seeking migraine relief in Metro Manila are unaware of poor posture's influence on their headaches.
