➡️ Have you ever wondered why you experience eye strain when making use of your device?

As the world evolves, individuals of various professions spend more time on their mobile phones and laptops. As much as these are beneficial in so many ways, there are various negative effects it can have on the eyes as studies have shown that one of the major causes of eye strain is prolonged use of digital devices.

The main cause of digital eye strain is emission of blue light from the screen of our digital devices. Blue light is a color in the visible light spectrum that produces a high amount of energy compared to other light rays. It can be found on mobile devices, laptops, televisions e.t.c. Although, the largest source of blue light is from the sun, they tend to be a long lasting effect on the eyes when using digital devices because of the close proximity between the eyes and screen, and the amount of time spent on the screen.

Another cause of digital eye strain is glare from the screen of your device. This can make it harder for one to focus properly leading to strain around the eyes.

When you make use of a mobile device or a laptop, the ability to blink often reduces, which causes the tears in your eyes to evaporate quickly bringing about dry eyes and blur vision. Dry eyes makes one's eyes susceptible to infections.

Other symptoms of digital eye strain are headaches, neck pain e.t.c. These symptoms ranges from mild to severe. Sometimes, it goes on its own after you must have stopped working with your devices, other times, it persists even after you've stopped making use of your device.

There are various tips that can help relieve digital eye strain.
Some of the tips are:

🎯 Try to blink as often as possible. This helps to distribute tears evenly across the surface of your eyes and reduces the risk of dry eyes.

🎯 Adjust your screen lightening to the comfort of your eyes. Make sure the brightness of your screen corresponds to the lightening of the environment.

🎯 Adjust the position of your screen by keeping your device slightly below your eye level and about an arm's length away from your eyes.

🎯 Implement the 20-20-20 rule by taking frequent breaks.
For every 20 minutes you use a device, look at something at least 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds.

🎯 Use blue light blocking lens. As the name implies, this type of lens blocks excessive blue light from reaching your eyes.

🎯 Visit an optometrist. For some people, eye strain may be a symptom of an underlying eye condition. Taking a visit to your eye doctor for an eye examination can confirm or rule out this suspicions.

➡️ Does wearing glasses makes your eyesight worse?

There have been so many misconception about glasses acuity such as, wearing glasses for a long time worsen your sight or wearing glasses will cause one's refractive errors to progress. This is false and need to be corrected.

As we age, especially for younger patients, the eyes grow larger and thicker, causing a change in which the eyes refract light onto the retina. This can cause an adjustment in prescription. The lens of the eyes also hardens with age.
When this happens, the ability of the eyes to auto-focus begins to diminish; a process known as presbyopia (age-related farsightedness). Other reasons why your glasses prescription may change includes cataract, age related macular degeneration, astigmatism e.t.c.

All that wearing a corrective lenses do is to help improve your vision by focusing light in the right spot on the retina. This doesn't change the shape of your cornea neither does it make your eyes weaker.

So if you have been wearing the same prescription glasses you were given some years back after an eye examination, and notice that you are no longer seeing well with your glasses, it is because your vision may likely have changed and it is high time you go for another eye examination and get a new prescription glasses.

VISION IS CRUCIAL FOR OLYMPIC ATHLETES!

Check out Olympian, Kim Yeji, a sharpshooter from South Korea, with her cool glasses!

Actually, over her left eye is a small black rectangle, a blinder that blocks out one eye and allows greater focus in the other. Over her right eye was a small black circle, actually a relatively common bit of kit that features a mechanical iris to help avoid blurring and allows greater focus on the target.
