Pro-Tips for Eye Comfort
-
-
The 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This allows your focusing muscles to relax.
-
Adjust Your Setup: Your screen should be about 25 inches away, with the center of the screen 10-15 degrees below eye level.
-
Blink More: We blink 66% less often when looking at screens, which causes dryness.
-
When to see us: If you experience persistent redness or a sudden change in vision, it’s time for a professional check-up at Chawla Eye Clinic to rule out underlying issues.
