Is Digital Eye Strain Affecting You?
In today’s digital world, our eyes are working harder than ever. From smartphones to computers, prolonged screen time has become a core part of our daily routine, leading to a rise in what many are calling “digital eye strain.”
This isn't just a fleeting feeling of fatigue; it can manifest as eye dryness, discomfort, and even headaches.
Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to make a difference. The 20-20-20 rule is a great starting point: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
This simple action helps your eye muscles relax. Additionally, ensuring you have the right eyewear, such as lenses designed to enhance visual comfort during screen use, can greatly reduce the burden.
Most importantly, a comprehensive eye check is the best way to understand your visual needs and find the right solutions. It’s about being proactive and giving your eyes the attention they deserve in this screen-heavy era.
