In today’s digital age, screens are an integral part of our daily lives. Whether for work, school, or leisure, we spend countless hours in front of computers, smartphones, and tablets. At Prism Eye Care, we understand the impact this can have on your eyes. Prolonged screen time can lead to digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, causing discomfort and potential long-term effects on eye health. Here are some tips to help you maintain digital wellness and protect your vision:
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: To reduce eye strain, practice the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away. This simple exercise helps relax the eye muscles and reduces fatigue.
Optimize Your Workspace: Ensure your screen is positioned at eye level and at an arm’s length distance. Adjust the brightness of your screen to match your surroundings, and consider using a screen filter to reduce glare. Good lighting and an ergonomic setup can significantly alleviate eye discomfort.
