Normally, our eyes blink 15 times a minute, whereas this frequency becomes half while working on the digital devices. The contrast of the text and pictures against the background and glare of the digital screens leave an impact on the eyes. The results are dryness and strain in the eyes, which could lead to various symptoms of eye problem\u00a0like blurry vision, optical disturbance, color illusion, near and far-sightedness. This is why we have to take precautions including eye care medicines\u00a0so that the effects of digital screens on our eye are not that severe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shutterstock_593685281.jpg\" alt=\"How to Prevent Eyestrain from Digital Devices\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shutterstock_593685281.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shutterstock_593685281-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shutterstock_593685281-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shutterstock_593685281-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/eye-symptoms-cause\/\">Also Read:\u00a0First Aid Care for your Eye Injuries<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><b>Prevention of digital eyestrain:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our lifestyle has become such that we find it hard to cut short all screen time. However, a few change and some preventive measures can help our eyes to remain healthy and less strained. You need only to follow some eye care tips\u00a0to reduce the impact of digital devices. Some of the important tips are discussed here to help you out:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Wear anti-glare glasses while using digital devices<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is fine if you wear contact lens when you are working on the digital devices, and if not then wear anti-glare glasses to reduce eyestrain. These glasses are like a shield that protects your eyes from the effects of the computer screen.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Keep ideal distance between eyes and digital screen<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are working on the computer screen, make sure your eyes are at arm\u2019s length from the screen. The distance between your eyes and computer screen should be about 25 inches. More or less distance than that is will strain your eyes to concentrate. In addition, the center of the computer screen should be 10-15 degrees below your eye level; it is a position that helps your eyes to work comfortably.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Keep screen glare at minimum level<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The brightness of the digital screen should not be very high. You can set its glare that does not strain your eyes much and you can face it longer.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Take a quality rest in between<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You should not be lost while working or playing on a digital screen, rather take rest of a few seconds or minutes after working every half an hour. Experts suggest 20-20 rule that means you give a rest of 20 seconds every time after working for 20 minutes. And take a longer break after every 2 hours of concentration on the digital screen.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>Wash your eyes after digital time<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Water is a natural eye care medicine\u00a0that keeps your eyes fresh and healthy.
