Screen overuse, possible cause of digital eye strain

Every time more and more people spend a long time in front of a screen. This is bad. Computers are damaging your ayes. You can´t avoid this, but there are ways to combat the damage.

The main problem is the hours and hours that we spend in front of a screen without taking a break. People usually blink around 18 times per minute, which refreshes the eyes naturally. But when we are in front of a screen we blink less and this can make your eyes burn, dry out, turn red or feel itchy. So, experts say that this make your eyes work harder than normal.

In my opinion we should control the time we spend in front of a screen and try to use less the computers and more time with your family and friends or doing other activities like reading or outdoor sports.
