INSIGHT

Screens Strain Muscles Behind Vision

  • Increased screen time causes eye strain, dry eyes, and other disorders from prolonged gazing into screens.
  • Eye muscles need training because eyes function thanks to muscles that can be stretched and soothed.
ADVICE

Do Ten Minutes Daily

  • Do a daily 10-minute eye yoga routine to stretch eye muscles and reduce fatigue and dry eye symptoms.
  • Practice regularly and patiently because benefits require consistent effort and are not instantaneous.
ADVICE

Use Simple Desk Exercises

  • Try simple at-desk exercises like eye rolling, rapid blinking, nose-tip gazing and palming to break screen time strain.
  • Warm your hands, cup them over closed eyes during palming, and focus on darkness to help recovery from light exposure.
