Impact of Mobile and Screen Overuse on Eye and ENT Health: An Ayurvedic Review
Abstract
The exponential rise in mobile phones, computers, and digital screens has led to prolonged screen
exposure across all age groups. Excessive screen use is increasingly associated with ocular
complaints such as digital eye strain, dry eye disease, myopia progression, and ENT manifestations
including tinnitus, hearing fatigue, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and voice disorders. Ayurveda, with
its holistic understanding of sensory organ health (Indriya Swasthya), offers preventive and
therapeutic insights for managing screen-related disorders.
