📱👀 Are Your Eyes Feeling Dry After Too Much Screen Time?

Spending hours scrolling through your phone or working on a screen can leave your eyes feeling dry, tired, irritated or even watery!

💡 Why does this happen? When we stare at screens, we blink less frequently, causing our tears to evaporate faster and leaving our eyes feeling uncomfortable.

✅ Here are 5 ways to protect your eyes:

👁️ Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

💧 Blink more often to keep your eyes moisturised.

📱 Adjust your screen brightness and increase text size.

🌬️ Avoid direct air conditioning blowing into your eyes.

🩺 Visit an optometrist if dryness or irritation persists.

Your eyes work hard every day. Give them the care they deserve! 💙
