Does your occupation make it difficult for you to cut down on screen time?

To help minimise digital eye strain, we suggest you follow these 5 tips:

1. Take Regular Breaks Using the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This helps relax the muscles in your eyes and reduces fatigue caused by prolonged screen focus. Set reminders to stay consistent!

2. Create an Ergonomic and Well-Lit Workspace:

Position your screen at eye level and about an arm’s length away to reduce strain on your neck and eyes.

Ensure your workspace is well-lit with natural, indirect lighting to minimise glare. In addition, if you work at night, avoid working in dark rooms with overly bright screens, as the stark contrast between the screen and the surrounding darkness can cause additional eye strain and discomfort.

3. Practice Regular Blinking: When using screens, it’s common to blink less frequently, which can lead to dryness and discomfort. Make a conscious effort to blink fully and often to keep your eyes hydrated and reduce strain.

4. Invest in Quality Eye Care Products: Use glasses or contact lenses that suit your eyes and consider using lubricating eye drops to prevent dryness caused by screen exposure.

5. Schedule Periodic Eye Exams: Regular eye exams ensure that your vision is at its best and help identify early signs of digital eye strain or other underlying issues. Your optometrist can provide personalised advice and solutions tailored to your needs.

Your eyes work hard every day—so ensure you give them the care they deserve!

Turning up the heat this winter? Keep your eyes protected!
Indoor heating may keep you warm during the chilly winter months, but it can also dry out the air, and your eyes. Here are a few simple ways to keep your eyes comfy whilst staying warm indoors:
Avoid sitting too close to heaters or vents
Use lubricating eye drops if needed
Add an extra layer of warm clothes or use a blanket to stay warm
Consider using a humidifier to balance the air
Stay hydrated throughout the day

A warm home shouldn’t come at the cost of dry, uncomfortable eyes.

Are your eyes ready for night-time driving?
Driving at night can be especially challenging, particularly for those with myopia (short-sightedness) which can make distant objects, including traffic lights and road signs harder to discern. Glare from both headlights on the road can also reduce visual clarity and increase eye strain.
As we move into the end of daylight savings, it’s essential to ensure that your eyes are sharp and your vision is at its best when on the road.
Book an eye exam today, to help keep you safe on our roads!
