Digital eye strain is a growing issue in the U.S., per the 2018
Nielsen Total Audience Report which found that Americans spend more than
11 hours per day in front of a screen. With an increase in screen time, The Vision
Council reports that more than 60% of Americans report symptoms of eye strain from their
digital devices. In
order to combat these issues, BenQ launched its
exclusive eye-care
technology line worldwide in 2014 to help viewers reduce digital eye strain and
fatigue and provide them with a healthier and more enjoyable viewing experience
at work and at home.
The eye-care line includes the below technological advancements, and all
BenQ monitors feature at least one of the below eye-care
technologies.
