In today's ever-growing world, we generally find that most jobs involve working on computers, as well as many people looking at screens to unwind after work, meaning that most of the day is spent looking at a screen whether it is a computer, a tablet, a television, or a phone, there are so many different screens we look at in our day to day lives. I think the most looked at screens in the world are our mobile phone screens. And when we get home, what do we do? We look at television screens, we still look at our phone screens, and we look at our gaming screens. We are constantly looking at screens. So what damage are we doing to our eyes, looking at screens all the time? The number of cases of eye strain and dry eye, related to not taking enough breaks from looking at screens, is constantly increasing, so I want to take a moment here to discuss: What is important? Regularly take my breaks or buy supplements to keep my eyes healthy? What things could you actually do to help your eyes?
Now to start off, I want to give a personal testimony of what I'm talking about. I used to, in my previous job, start work at 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM and throughout that time all I did was look at my computer screen. Even on my lunch break, which sometimes I didn't even have time to take, I was constantly looking at a screen. When I got in from work, what would be the first thing I would do? I would be going to put the TV on to catch up on my favourite shows. I realised that by the end of the day, my eyes felt dry and heavy. I felt like I was seriously damaging my eyes. However, don’t be alarmed by this as many people suffer from screen-related eye problems and there are solutions that can help combat these nasty symptoms. I found that using (insert eye drops here) really helped refresh my eyes and they felt instantly hydrated. I also started to take Viteyes Digital blue, which helps to keep my eyes healthy, and I’ve seen a great improvement in my eye health. I’ve also tried the MacuShield capsules and I think these are great for general eye health and not just for preventing macular degeneration.
Taking regular eye breaks from our screens is super important because it helps to reduce eye strain and fatigue, which can be caused by prolonged use of digital devices. Prolonged use of these devices can lead to symptoms such as dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. Taking regular breaks to look away from the screen and focus on a distant object can help to reduce these symptoms and improve overall eye health.
Here are a few things that you can do to help give your eyes a break. A few little exercises or routines, if you can get into them right now, can make a massive difference. The first one, which I’ve tried out myself, is the simple 20-20 rule, which is to take a break every 20 minutes, look away from your screen, and focus on something in the distance for 20 seconds.
You can also make sure your screen is at a comfortable distance and at an angle that feels the most comfortable not just for your eyes but for your neck and posture. Make sure that when you are reading things on the street it is at a comfortable size. It's large enough for you to read without it being unpleasant. Have you also considered exercising your eyes? There are many exercise routines, and things that you could find online and they can help relieve isolation, improve your eye vision. Why not consider also using technology instead of hurting Rice actually help your eyes. There are such things and I relax app. For your computers, which has a reminder for the 22 rule and auto includes a blue light filter .
So overall it is very, very important to make sure that you look half your eyes, and you give them breaks. Do not let one of your most important senses be damaged.
