Digital Age Eye Care Guide: Vision Protection for Screen Warriors
, by Best Doctor, 1 min reading time
Mobile for news, computer for work, tablet for streaming, e-reader for books... Have you counted how many hours you spend in front of various screens each day? Latest statistics show modern people average over 7 hours daily facing screens.
Mark, a software developer, recently noticed something worrying: "Before, I could pull all-nighters coding and bounce back after a good sleep. Not anymore—my eyes are constantly dry, sometimes with sharp pains."
Eye specialists explain that staring at screens for extended periods reduces blinking frequency, causing tears to evaporate too quickly and leaving the eye surface inadequately lubricated. Additionally, blue light emitted by screens may affect the retina, particularly high-energy short-wave blue light.
This is where nutritional support becomes particularly important. Eye Rex® contains astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and other key ingredients. Astaxanthin is called a "super antioxidant" with 1000 times the antioxidant power of vitamin E; lutein and zeaxanthin are the main pigments in the eye's macula, acting like natural "built-in sunglasses" to help filter harmful light.
Beyond nutritional support, eye doctors recommend the "20-20-20" rule: every 20 minutes of device use, look at something 20 feet (about 6 metres) away for at least 20 seconds. This simple habit allows eye muscles to relax.
Mark now takes Eye Rex® and keeps a plant on his desk. "Whenever my eyes feel tired, I look at that pothos," he says. "Green really is soothing."
Remember, eyes are the windows to the soul and our vital organs for perceiving the world. Whilst enjoying the convenience of the digital age, don't forget to give them some extra care.
