Is your vision blurry? Are your eyes feeling tired, dry and watery? Do you get headaches and neck and shoulder pain?
If you’ve said YES! to one or more symptoms, those extended hours of working from home, home-based learning and even binge-watching on digital screens are taking their toll.
Are you experiencing dry eyes due to Working From Home?
More screen time, irregular sleep patterns and indoor air quality all contribute to drier eyes, a discomfort that’s indicative of digital eye strain. Even if you’re outdoors, breathing with a mask on causes air flow to move upwards and over the surface of your eyes, resulting in eye evaporation.
How to fix dry eyes
In addition to following our tips above, try:
Blinking deliberately during your digital screen break every 20 minutes
Wear a well-fitting mask that fits snugly over your nose to prevent air from flowing frequently into your eyes
Eat nutritious foods high in vitamins A and D (dairy, fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel, cereals), which are important for eye health
Use artificial tears to keep your eyes comfortably moist — we recommend and sell Tears Naturale, the best dry eye relief with no preservatives
