In today’s digital world, our eyes are constantly exposed to stress from computers, phones, and bright screens. At Sunayan Eye Care, we see many people with eye fatigue, dryness, and blurred vision — most of which can be prevented with a few daily habits. Here are five simple ways to protect your eyes and maintain healthy vision at home.
1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
If you spend hours in front of a screen, follow this simple eye-saving tip:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
This quick exercise relaxes your eye muscles and prevents digital eye strain — one of the most common problems caused by excessive screen time.
2. Ensure Proper Lighting and Posture
Poor lighting or glare can force your eyes to work harder. Always make sure your work area is well-lit but not overly bright. Keep your screen about an arm’s length away and slightly below eye level to reduce strain. Good posture not only protects your eyes but also helps your neck and back.
3. Blink Consciously and Stay Hydrated
When we stare at screens, we blink less often — leading to dryness, irritation, and redness. Make a conscious effort to blink regularly. Drink enough water throughout the day and, if needed, use lubricating eye drops prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
4. Protect Your Eyes from UV Rays and Dust
The sun’s UV rays can harm your eyes just like they affect your skin. Whenever you go outdoors, wear UV-protected sunglasses and avoid rubbing your eyes if dust or irritants enter. Simple preventive care can protect against cataracts and other long-term issues.
5. Schedule Regular Eye Checkups
Many vision problems — like glaucoma or diabetic eye disease — develop silently. A comprehensive eye examination at least once every 1–2 years helps detect problems early.
At Sunayan Eye Care, our experts perform advanced eye tests to keep your vision crystal clear.
Conclusion
Your eyes deserve daily care and attention. Small habits like taking screen breaks, staying hydrated, and wearing sunglasses can make a big difference.
