Screen Time & Eye Health: Tips for Digital Wellness

In today’s world, screens are part of everything we do—from work and school to shopping, streaming, and socializing. While technology keeps us connected and productive, it also comes with a cost: our eyes are working harder than ever.

If you’ve ever ended the day with dry eyes, blurred vision, or a nagging headache, you're not alone. These symptoms are often signs of digital eye strain—and they’re more common than you think.

At Zyloware, we believe wellness includes taking care of your vision. Here’s how to protect your eyes while staying connected.

Follow the 20-20-20 Rule

One of the simplest ways to reduce digital eye strain is the 20-20-20 rule.
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
This gives your eye muscles a chance to relax and reset—just like a stretch break for your vision.

Blink Often (It Sounds Simple, but It Works)

When we stare at screens, we blink less frequently, which can cause dry, irritated eyes.
Make it a habit to blink fully and often—especially when reading or working on a device for long stretches. Keeping your eyes moist helps prevent fatigue.

Adjust Your Screen Setup

Position your screen so it's at arm’s length and slightly below eye level.
Make sure the brightness matches your environment and avoid glare from windows or overhead lights. Even small tweaks can make a big difference in reducing strain.

Try Blue Light Filtering Lenses

While research is ongoing, many people find blue light filtering glasses helpful in easing eye strain—especially during evening hours.
Zyloware offers a variety of frames that can be fitted with blue light lenses, combining comfort, style, and protection for long days at the screen.

Prioritize Routine Eye Exams

Regular eye exams help catch early signs of vision changes and ensure your prescription is up to date.
Even small shifts in vision can cause you to overwork your eyes. If you haven’t had a check-up recently, now’s a great time to book one.

Take Breaks from All Screens—Not Just Work

Scrolling TikTok or watching a series after a long workday can feel relaxing, but it’s still screen time.
Try mixing in non-digital breaks throughout the day: a walk outside, a quick workout, or even just staring out the window to reset your focus.

Wear the Right Glasses—for the Right Task

Whether you’re working, driving, or reading, the right pair of glasses can make all the difference.
Ask your eye care professional about task-specific eyewear—like reading glasses, computer lenses, or prescription sunglasses—that fit your daily routine.

Take Care of Your Eyes—They’re Worth It

Digital wellness isn’t about ditching devices—it’s about finding balance.
At Zyloware, we design eyewear that not only looks great but helps you live and see better, every day.

Because when your eyes feel good, everything else is easier.
