@dr.bryceappelbaum: Damaging your vision is unfortunately easier than you think... But so is supporting it! With screen time on the rise, it's important we take the right measures to minimize the repercussions. The easiest thing you can do for your eye health is ensure you look away from the screen regularly, ideally at something far in the distance. Small breaks allow your focusing system to relax and help prevent eye strain, tension headaches and many other symptoms that come with staring at a screen all day. You don't need to ditch screens altogether. You just need to give your visual system a break from working at the same distance all day. So if you're watching this: look up, look far away, and give your eyes a chance to reset. 👀 How often are you actually taking screen breaks throughout the day?
