About screen tinting
Many people with migraines, persistent concussion symptoms and learning difficulties have trouble with the brightness of computer screens and other devices. Scrolling, moving images, and the pattern of text can lead to discomfort, nausea and eye strain and pain.
Some people find it difficult or distracting to read or work on bright screens. The screen backlights make it difficult to stay focused, and the content may appear to move and blur. These are common difficulties associated with Visual Stress.
There are many options available on devices to tint the screen to your liking.
How can screen tinting reduce Visual Stress?
Tinting your screen can reduce Visual Stress by:
-
calming the bright light from the computer screen;
-
reducing the contrast of black text against the white background; and
-
altering the striped pattern created by text across the web-pages.
Without help, the symptoms of Visual Stress can make it very hard to concentrate on computer related work and lead to eye strain, fatigue, headaches, nausea and sore eyes.
