The 20/20/20 Rule

Most people spend a good deal of their time staring at screens, from laptops, computers,smart phones, gaming systems and television this can put a lot of strain on our eyes or cause eye fatigue, you need to remember when using your screens give your eyes a break using the 20/20/20 rule.

Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet or more away for 20 seconds.

Stare at that object 20 feet away for the full 20 seconds, it takes the full 20 seconds for the eyes to relax.

Get up, stretch & drink water. Water helps keep the body & eye tissues hydrated. If you can’t leave your workstation, just make a point to look out the window.

Also, keep the screen clean. Fingerprints & dust can actually cause more stress to already strained eyes.
