With working/learning from home being the new normal, there is no running away from screens. And while they do have their perks, they also make us (and our kids) susceptible to increased digital eye strain, also known as Computer vision syndrome.
“Eye strain in and of itself will not cause permanent damage – there’s no long-term lasting effects from eye strain,” said Dr. Samuel Pierce, president of the American Optometric Association. “It typically goes away when you stop the activities that are creating the eye strain.”
But the truth is, we are addicted to screens.
According to The Vision Council – a group of eye care professionals who promote the importance of vision health –
- 80%of American adults are spending over two hours on a digital device a day with 67% using two or more devices at the same time.
- Last year, contact lens provider Acuvue found that the average office worker spends
1,700 hours a year in front of a screen.
Hence, the growing awareness around blue light and eye health. From Anti-Blue glasses (link) to phones including special screen modes, technology is being used to curb digital eye strain considerably.
One such emerging product which considerably reduces the side effects of blue light and protects your eyes is an Anti-Blue light screen protector.
