In today’s digital age, many of us spend hours in front of screens, whether for work, study, or leisure. Unfortunately, prolonged screen time can lead to digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome.
Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain
- Dry or irritated eyes
- Blurred vision
- Headaches
- Neck and shoulder pain
Tips to Reduce Digital Eye Strain
- Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
- Adjust Your Screen Settings: Ensure proper brightness and contrast levels. Use anti-glare screens if needed.
- Use Blue-Light Blocking Glasses: These lenses reduce the impact of blue light emitted by screens, helping to alleviate eye strain.
