Eye Veda Eye Care Hospital, Delhi

Do your eyes feel tired or strained after long hours on your phone, laptop, or TV? You’re not alone. Prolonged screen use exposes your eyes to Blue Light, which can cause dryness, headaches, and eye fatigue.

In this video, Eye Veda specialists share practical ways to reduce eye strain and protect your vision.

Key Points to Remember

Aspect	What You Should Do	Why It Helps
20-20-20 Rule	Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes	Reduces eye muscle fatigue
Sleep Hygiene	Avoid screens 1 hour before sleep and after waking	Prevents eye strain and sleep disruption
Hydration	Drink enough water throughout the day	Maintains eye moisture
Blue Light Glasses	Wear when using screens for long periods	Reduces harmful blue light exposure

1. The 20-20-20 Rule

A simple yet effective habit for instant relief:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
This gives your eye muscles a break, reduces fatigue, and helps maintain focus.

2. Sleep Hygiene

Screens before bedtime or immediately after waking can disturb your natural sleep cycle and tire your eyes.
Avoid screens at least 1 hour before sleeping and after waking up to help your eyes and mind relax.

3. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water helps maintain natural tear production.
Proper hydration keeps your eyes moist and reduces dryness caused by prolonged screen use.

4. Blue Light Glasses

Special blue-light-blocking glasses can filter harmful light from screens.
Use them when working long hours on devices or when exposure is unavoidable.

Conclusion

Eye strain is a common issue in the digital age, but simple habits like the 20-20-20 rule, proper hydration, avoiding late-night screens, and using blue-light glasses can make a huge difference.
