Nowadays, we use screens a lot and it’s causing a problem for many people around the world. It’s called digital eye strain, and it’s becoming a big issue for our health.
Many people who work or study on computers could get digital eye strain. This can make your eyes feel dry, itchy, or blurry, and it can even cause headaches and neck pain.
During the COVID pandemic, our screen time has increased a lot, which has made the problem worse. That’s why it’s important to take care of our eyes.
To protect our eyes, we can follow the 20-20-20 rule – every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps our eyes relax. It’s also important to have good lighting, moisture, and clean air around us when using screens.
If you have persistent eye problems, it’s best to see a doctor. They can help with special glasses or treatments to improve your eye health.
By being aware of digital eye strain, taking breaks, and getting help when needed, we can keep our eyes healthy even in a world full of screens.
