Screen Time and Digital Eye Strain
Simple habits that help.
- Use the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Keep screens about an arm's length away and slightly below eye level.
- Reduce glare and match screen brightness to the room.
- Blink fully — we blink less while staring at screens.
- An outdated prescription is a common cause; ask about computer-distance lenses.
