Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Digital eye strain affects 55% to 81% of screen users, causing blurred vision, tired eyes, headaches and neck pain due to extended exposure to digital devices
- Environmental factors like improper lighting, workspace setup and screen positioning contribute to eye strain and worsen symptoms
- Taking regular breaks and limiting screen time help reduce eye strain by resting eye muscles and normalizing blink rates
- Nutrition plays a key role in eye health, with anthocyanins from berries and carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) from egg yolks acting as natural blue light filters
- Digital strain extends beyond eyes to overall health, causing sleep disturbances, musculoskeletal issues and even skin conditions like "screen dermatitis"
