Why does looking at computers screens makes eyes hurt?

334 views

I know we blink less while using screens and the dryness of eyes could be causing the pain. But staring at plants without blinking doesn’t cause asmuch pain. Maybe the emitted light is the culprit, similar to how eyes hurt while staring at the sun, streetlight, etc.

Also, why does looking at something which emits light hurt in the first place?
(Because E-ink display do not)

What’s the science behind this?

From my knowledge blue light has nothing to do with your eyes hurting. It just makes you more awake so you dont feel like sleeping. What really makes your eye tired is the fact that you blink WAY less when looking at a screen.
