Hours of phones, laptops and TV can leave your eyes feeling tired and dry. These simple habits can make screen time more comfortable.
1. Follow the 20-20-20 rule
Every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet (6 m) away for 20 seconds. It gives your focusing muscles a break.
2. Blink more
We blink less when we stare at screens. Make a conscious effort to blink fully, especially during long reading sessions.
3. Position your screen
Keep your monitor about an arm's length away, with the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level.
4. Reduce glare
Avoid placing screens directly in front of a window or under harsh overhead light. An anti-glare lens coating can also help.
5. Match brightness to the room
A screen much brighter or darker than its surroundings makes your eyes work harder.
6. Make text bigger
Increase font size or zoom rather than leaning in.
7. Use the right glasses
If you need readers, a progressive lens like ViShift Pro lets you see both your screen and the room without constantly swapping glasses.
8. Get regular eye exams
Persistent discomfort, headaches or blurry vision are good reasons to see an eye-care professional.
