How to Protect Your Eyes from Digital Eye Strain

From smartphones and tablets to computers and televisions, screens have become part of our everyday lives. Spending long periods looking at digital screens can leave your eyes feeling tired, dry or uncomfortable. This is commonly referred to as digital eye strain.

Fortunately, a few simple habits can help keep your eyes more comfortable throughout the day.

Take Regular Screen Breaks

One of the easiest ways to reduce eye strain is to follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This gives your eyes a chance to relax and refocus.

Remember to Blink

When concentrating on a screen, people often blink less frequently. This can contribute to dry and irritated eyes. Make a conscious effort to blink regularly, especially during long periods of screen use.

Adjust Your Screen

Position your screen at a comfortable distance and angle. Adjust the brightness so that it is comfortable for your eyes and avoid excessive glare from windows or strong lighting.

Give Your Eyes the Care They Deserve

If you regularly experience blurred vision, headaches, eye discomfort or persistent dryness while using digital devices, consider having your eyes checked by a qualified optician.
