Poor lighting and incorrect posture are also contributing factors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does the latest science say?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A 2022 review <strong>recommends limiting screen time to less than 4 hours a day<\/strong> whenever possible, <strong>taking breaks every 20 minutes (the 20-20-20 rule)<\/strong>, optimizing workspace ergonomics, and spending time outdoors. The Mayo Clinic (2024) suggests <strong>using artificial tears<\/strong> even if there\u2019s no discomfort, and adjusting screen brightness and contrast.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I prevent it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Follow the <strong>20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 6 meters (20 feet) away for 20 seconds<\/strong>. Maintaining good posture, use artificial tears, adjust ambient lighting and rest your eyes with off-screen activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Digital eye strain can be prevented with simple, evidence-based habits: regular breaks, ergonomic, adjustments, eye lubrication, and balancing screen use with outdoor activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sources: PMC 2022, Mayo Clinic 2024.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><section data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" class=\"vc_section vc_section_visible vc_custom_1757370753291 vc_section-has-fill\" data-section-name=\"\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row_visible\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 text-left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"pix-content-box card      vc_custom_1757370716854    rounded-10 shadow-inverse bg- text-center  w-100\"   ><div class=\"\" style=\"z-index:30;position:relative;\"><div class=\"pix-el-text w-100 text-center\" ><p class=\"text-20  text-white text-center font-weight-bold\" ><span class=\"text-white animate-in d-inline-block\" data-anim-delay=\"400\" data-anim-type=\"fade-in-up\">Do you spend long hours in front of a computer or phone and end up with tired eyes, headaches, or blurry vision?
