1 in 4 UK adults now spend 14+ hours a day on screens — double the time we spend sleeping! While screens don’t permanently damage eyes, they can cause screen fatigue: eye strain, headaches, blurred vision and dry eyes.
Be Screen SMART
- Switch off before bed to reduce strain and improve sleep
- Measure distance: 1ft for phones, 2ft for laptops, 10ft for TVs
- Adjust your space: reduce glare, use readable fonts, clean your screen
- Refresh your eyes: blink often, stay hydrated, try gentle eye rolls
- Take breaks: follow the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 mins, look 20ft away for 20 secs
