How to Prevent Digital Eye Strain

The best thing you can do to prevent digital eye strain is to give your eyes regular breaks. The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends following the 20/20/20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break, and focus your eyes on something that’s at least 20 feet away from you.

You may also want to speak to your optometrist about investing in a pair of computer glasses, which are treated with an anti-glare coating and designed to filter out harmful blue light, safeguarding your visual abilities and improving your comfort.

For more information about digital eye strain, including what you can do to prevent it, please speak to your optometrist during your next appointment.
