Focus on Eyes: Tips to help students keep eyes healthy

With the start of school this week, there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen this fall. Some parents will choose online learning only. Some will choose face-to-face teaching. Some may start out with their students online and choose to send them back to school and vice-versa. Digital device use is expected for all students regardless of the mode of education. Prolonged smart phone, computer or tablet use can contribute to eye strain. When the students are focusing on screens, they blink their eyes significantly less. Less blinking decreases the tear lubrication of the eyes. The eyes feel dry and tired, which can cause blurry vision. The remedy for digital eye strain is to follow the 20-20-20 rule. For every 20 minutes of screen time, look at an object or scene 20 feet away for 20 seconds to the rest the eyes.
