How much time do you really spend staring at a screen?

If you’re anything like the rest of us, you likely spend as much as 11 hours a day. That’s a lot of screen time. What Does that mean?

Digital eye strain is a serious issue that is a growing concern around the world.

Because we use digital screens for everything from work and entertainment to communication and education, it’s little wonder our eyes are strained.

So how does all this usage affect our eyes?

• Poor sleep. Excessive blue light from digital screens may interrupt your circadian rhythm.

• Dry eyes. Did you know that we tend not to blink as much while using a screen?

• Headaches and muscle strain. Spending long hours hunched over our phones or on our computers puts additional strain on our necks, shoulders, and backs.
