A simple habit to ease digital eye strain: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Long hours on screens tire your eyes and can cause digital eye strain. The 20-20-20 rule is a simple habit that helps.
The Rule
Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. This relaxes the focusing muscles of the eyes and gives them a short rest.
A Few More Tips
- Blink often to keep your eyes moist
- Keep the screen at a comfortable distance and reduce glare
- Use lubricating drops if your eyes feel dry
If eye strain persists, book an eye check at Dr. Shamsher Singh Eye Hospital, Khanna.
