Study: iPhone Users Prefer Screen Filter 6-to-1 for Eye Comfort

Minneapolis – September 15, 2026 -- A new study suggests one simple screen protector swap could ease digital eye strain for iPhone users, just as Apple's latest lineup hits shelves. Eyesafe, a screen-health technology company, published a white paper detailing survey results from 29 adult iPhone users conducted with Southwest Eye Care, an eye clinic.

Participants chose Eyesafe's filter nearly six times more often than a standard protector

In the two-period study, each participant used their phone at least two hours daily. They wore a standard clear screen protector for two weeks, then switched to one with Eyesafe CPF70 Technology for two weeks, completing identical surveys after each phase. Overall, 62% preferred the CPF70 protector, compared with 10% who preferred the standard one; 28% reported no preference.
