Answer: Hello Busayo 

When a person spends long hours looking at electric screens in general television computers tablets or in your case mobile phones they tend to develop what is known as digital eye strain which is associated with exhaustion back and neck pain and in most cases the eyestrain leads to headaches 

The eye strain might be due to glare on the screen poor lighting in your surrounding improper computer brightness and color or a combination of these factors

Usually when this is that case we advise that you take frequent breaks from screen time adjust your posture by walking a short distance to stretch your neck arms and back to improve circulation You can also incorporate deep breathing lessons and short meditation time You should also ensure that you are using appropriate screen glare protectors the right chair and desk etc 

In most cases these techniques tend to help with the headaches and offers relief however if you believe the eyestrain is a becoming worse hindering you daily activities or not entirely due to the screen time I recommend you see an eye doctor
