Using your computer all day
The average American spends about seven hours using its computer and this can lead to computer vision syndrome. “Staring at a computer screen for extended periods of time can result in visual issues, including eye strain and even retinal damage,” Dr. Ansari says.
Doctor Ansari recommends the 20-20-20 rule – taking a break to look at something else 20 feet away for 20 seconds. “This reduces the strain on your eyes and also increases blinking, which can soothe dry and irritated eyes,” he says.
