Screens and eye health: challenges of the modern age
Many jobs today involve working on a computer, which has also become part of our free time. After a day at work, most people like to relax with their favourite television shows or on social media.
For young people and school-age children, playing video games is a hugely popular form of entertainment. All of this points to the fact that we spend most of our time looking at screens, which inevitably impacts the health of our eyes and vision.
When using digital devices for extended periods, we unconsciously blink too little and excessively strain our eyes, neglecting to take the necessary breaks and rest from continuously looking at a screen. This reduces the optimal moisture of the eyes and creates the conditions for dry eyes.
