Tired eyes from screens: practical tips

When concentrating on a screen, we often blink less, which may encourage evaporation of the tear film.

• •Follow the 20-20-20 rule.
• •Blink consciously.
• •Position the screen slightly below eye level.
• •Adjust brightness, contrast and text size.
• •Avoid glare and reflections.

Artificial tears may provide lubrication when dryness is associated with screen use.

Seek professional advice if you have frequent blurred vision or headaches.
