Prolonged screen time can strain your eyes, leading to discomfort and long-term issues. Here are some simple but effective ways to keep your eyes healthy while staying connected:

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This reduces eye strain and gives your eyes a break.

Use auto-brightness settings to match ambient lighting.

Avoid excessive brightness or dim screens that make you squint.

Enable Night Mode or Eye Comfort Mode on your device.

Install apps like f.lux or use blue-light-blocking glasses.

Position screens so that your eyes are slightly angled downward. This reduces strain on your neck and eyes.

Keep your device about 20–30 inches from your eyes. For smartphones, hold them at least 16 inches away.

Staring at screens reduces blinking, causing dryness. Consciously blink more or use lubricating eye drops.

Schedule breaks to step away from screens, stretch, and let your eyes relax. Use reminders or apps like Stretchly to alert you.

Avoid working in dim or overly bright rooms. Use soft, ambient lighting to reduce glare.

Install anti-glare screen protectors on your devices or use monitors with anti-reflective coatings.

Visit an eye doctor annually to ensure your vision is in good shape, especially if you experience frequent strain or headaches.

Pro Tip: Prioritize ergonomics in your workspace and practice these habits daily to maintain long-term eye health.
