Do you spend several hours at a time using one or more digital devices? โณ
Digital device use can decrease the rate at which you blink. This can cause your tears to dry up. The result may be digital eye strain, which can make dry eye symptoms worse. ๐ฒ ๐
Here are some things you can do to show your eyes some love:
โข Cut down screen glare to help your eyes feel less strained and irritated
โข Remember to blink, which distributes moisture
โข Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away
โข Make sure you can easily see what's displayed on your digital device
