Nowadays, it is a very common sight to see children and adults alike engaged on their smartphones or laptops. Being on a mobile phone for hours could be very harmful to the eyes, as it may damage the eyesight if the usage is not taken care of.
Due to the increased screen time, a lot of people suffer from eye problems. So, eye care should be the priority in today’s world, since being on phones and laptops is a requirement for many. The addiction to our phones could lead to conditions like poor eyesight and eye irritation, especially for those people who work in IT or sit for long hours on laptops. A doctor from a private Thanjavur hospital, in Tamil Nadu, gave insight on how to take care of your eyes.
Kids at home are most of the time left unsupervised, which makes them spend hours on gadgets like mobile phones and laptops. The doctor said that the children should be first trained to not engage in gadgets frequently, which the parents could only manage to do.
People who work for more than eight to nine hours a day should sit with an open window while taking short breaks in between work. They could rest their eyes for at least two minutes every twenty minutes.
While working, we usually face our computer screens directly. As per the expert, it may lead to conditions like neck pain, headache and bad eyesight. So, according to the doctor, you must keep the screen of your laptops slightly in a different direction, instead of facing it directly.
Regularly consulting with a good eye specialist is a must to keep your eyes healthy. It should be done at least once a year, the doctor concluded.
