Can Too Much Screen Time Affect Your Eyes?

In today's digital age, the rise in screen time has led many patients at Fort Saskatchewan Eyecare in Fort Saskatchewan to experience digital eye strain.

How Does Screen Time Affect Your Eyes?

💻 Eye fatigue – Staring at screens for long periods tires your eye muscles. 

💻 Dry eyes – Blinking less while using screens leads to dryness. 

💻 Blurry vision – Focusing on a screen for too long can temporarily affect vision.

💻 Headaches – Straining to see a screen can trigger headaches.

How to Reduce Eye Strain from Screens

✅ Follow the 20-20-20 rule – Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

✅ Use blue light filters – Many devices offer settings to reduce blue light exposure.

✅ Blink more often – Keep your eyes moist to prevent dryness. 

✅ Take breaks – Give your eyes time to relax.

If you experience persistent eye strain, dryness, or vision changes, visit Fort Saskatchewan Eyecare in Fort Saskatchewan for an eye health checkup.
