Greetings to all,
I am back with another blog for everyone.

Our eyes are an essential part of our body that helps us see the world around us. However, with the rise of technology and increased screen time, our eyes are subjected to more strain than ever before.

The result is that harmful eyes activities have become increasingly common, causing discomfort, eye strain, and other eye-related issues. In this blog, we will discuss some of the harmful eye activities and how to avoid them.

Staring at screens for long periods

In today's world, we are surrounded by screens- computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

Staring at these screens for long periods can cause digital eye strain, which can lead to eye fatigue, headaches, and blurred vision.

To avoid this, take breaks every 20-30 minutes to rest your eyes, blink often, and adjust the screen's brightness and contrast to a comfortable level.

Reading in low light

Reading in low light can cause eye strain, as the eyes have to work harder to focus. It can also lead to headaches and dry eyes.

To avoid this, make sure you have adequate lighting while reading. A good rule of thumb is to have a light source behind you, pointing towards the reading material.

Rubbing your eyes

Rubbing your eyes can cause damage to the delicate tissues around the eyes, leading to wrinkles and fine lines.

It can also spread bacteria and irritants, causing redness and itching. Instead of rubbing, use a clean tissue or washcloth to gently clean around your eyes.

Not wearing protective eyewear

Exposure to UV rays, dust, and other harmful particles can damage your eyes. Wearing protective eyewear, such as sunglasses, safety glasses, or goggles, can prevent this damage and reduce the risk of eye-related issues.

Not getting enough sleep

Not getting enough sleep can cause eye fatigue, dry eyes, and dark circles. It can also impair your vision and reaction time, leading to accidents and injuries. To avoid this, make sure you get enough restful sleep each night and avoid screen time before bed.
