If you are a worker working in an office, you spend a long time staring at computer screens while working. Additionally, during breaks, commuting, and just before falling asleep, you spend most of your time relying on digital devices such as smartphones or tablets.

 

According to experts, as this lifestyle becomes normalized, 70% of adult men and women are suffering from 'eye fatigue caused by digitalization.' Additionally, problems with eye condition are arising, leading to an increase in serious eye diseases.

 

Eye fatigue caused by digitalization has become one of the rapidly emerging health issues in recent years. Our eyes are not structured to easily stare at fixed points for long periods. In particular, excessive exposure to blue light, a high-energy visible light emitted from digital devices, causes increased eye fatigue, leading to dryness, redness, or dullness.

 

According to the American health and medical publication 'Prevention,' looking at a computer monitor for extended periods can damage the cornea and impair vision. Experts warn that "staring at a computer screen for several hours can cause dry eye syndrome," and that "the ability to produce tears that keep the eyes moist may also become impaired."

 

They advise that if the eyes become bloodshot or teary, or if the person keeps rubbing their neck or temples, it indicates increased eye fatigue and that rest is needed.

 

Eye health method for modern people: The 20-20-20 rule

 

Experts recommend eye health practices for modern people who use digital devices extensively. When sitting in front of digital devices, it is advised to take eye breaks by looking at a spot 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. Additionally, if you usually wear glasses or contact lenses or need to use magnifying glasses when reading e-books, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist to discuss whether to get computer safety glasses.

 

Computer safety glasses block the blue light emitted from computer screens, reducing eye fatigue. Additionally, even if a person has good vision, if they spend a lot of time in front of a computer and experience high eye strain, wearing non-prescription safety glasses can be helpful.
