Eye fishing syndrome refers to a condition where individuals experience various eye-related symptoms due to excessive screen time and digital device usage. In Pakistan, this condition has become increasingly common with the rapid digitalization and smartphone penetration across urban and rural areas.
The primary symptoms include eye strain, dryness, blurred vision, headaches, and difficulty focusing. Many Pakistanis report these symptoms after prolonged use of mobile phones, computers, and tablets, especially during extended social media browsing and online activities.
In Pakistani culture, traditional remedies are often sought alongside modern medical treatments. Many people use rose water compresses, cucumber slices, and herbal eye drops as natural remedies. The concept of \“surma\“ (kohl) application is also prevalent, though medical professionals advise caution with traditional eye cosmetics.
Cultural factors influence how Pakistanis perceive and address eye health. Family recommendations and community practices often guide treatment choices. The growing awareness about digital eye strain has led to increased discussions about preventive measures in workplaces and educational institutions. |
