It might be time to change your prescription glasses if you notice frequent headaches, eye strain, or blurred vision while doing tasks like reading or using a computer. Other signs include difficulty seeing at night, needing to squint to focus, or feeling that your current glasses no longer provide the same clarity they once did.
To prevent eye strain from screens, follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Adjust your screen's brightness to match the room lighting and use blue light filters or glasses to reduce eye fatigue. Maintain proper posture, keep the screen at arm's length and slightly below eye level, and ensure you blink often to prevent dryness. Regular breaks and staying hydrated also help protect your eyes.
Eye exercises can help reduce strain and improve vision by promoting relaxation and enhancing focus. Simple techniques like the 20-20-20 rule—looking at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes—can alleviate digital eye strain. Palming, where you gently cover your eyes with your hands to block out light, helps relax the eye muscles. Eye-rolling and focusing on near and far objects can improve flexibility and coordination. While these exercises won't correct vision problems like nearsightedness, they can support eye health and reduce fatigue from prolonged screen use.
