Eye health should stay top of mind especially now with more of us spending more time in front of screens.
That’s from optometrist Doctor Sean Moore, who says our eyes are typically drier as screens cause us to blink less.
“Dryness, eye strain, headaches, lots of people can think that that’s just normal, that they’re experiencing normal stuff because they’re on their computer or their phone more now,” Moore says.
He says many optometrists recommend the “20-20-20 rule”: “Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break, and look 20 feet away.”
Moore adds that taking care of your eyes could be as simple as wearing blue light-blocking glasses, or picking up some eye drops from your local pharmacy.
