With the advancement of technology, electronic products have become a core part of modern life. The popularity of mobile phones, computers, tablets and other devices has led people to not only stare at screens for long periods of time at work, but also spend a lot of time on social media, games, audio and video content during leisure time. This lifestyle, although convenient, has brought unprecedented eye health problems. Vision health experts point out that prolonged use of electronic devices can cause excessive eye fatigue and lead to symptoms such as dryness, blurred vision, and headaches. This is because staring at the screen for a long time reduces the number of eye blinks, which affects the surface moisture of the eyes and makes them prone to dryness and stinging.
According to research, this type of eye discomfort caused by prolonged exposure to electronic devices is commonly referred to as "digital eye fatigue" or "visual fatigue syndrome". Its main symptoms include blurred vision, dry eyes, eye discomfort, shoulder and neck pain, etc. Experts suggest that in order to reduce these discomforts, one should take a 10 minute break every 50 minutes of work. During rest, you can close your eyes, gaze out the window, or engage in eye exercises to allow your eyes to fully relax and recover. This can help reduce persistent pressure on the eyes and lower the likelihood of digital eye fatigue.
In addition, when using electronic products, appropriate screen brightness and contrast should be maintained. Excessive or insufficient brightness can cause additional burden on the eyes. Experts suggest that when using the device, the screen should be kept at a distance of about 40-70 centimeters from the eyes, and the top of the screen should be slightly below eye level. This posture helps reduce the burden on the eyes, decrease the risk of eye dryness and blurred vision.
In addition to regular rest and maintaining proper posture, choosing appropriate glasses is also an important way to protect your eyes. For example, blue light filtering glasses can effectively filter out harmful blue light emitted by electronic devices, reducing damage to the eyes. These types of glasses have become indispensable eye protection tools in modern life.
In summary, although modern technology has made our lives more convenient, the damage to our eyes is also becoming increasingly serious. We need to develop good habits of regular rest, maintaining correct posture, and timely use of eye protection tools to protect our eyes and slow down the pace of vision decline.
