Our eyes have never been so strained. On average, an adult spends 7 hours a day in front of a screen.
The Omnipresence of Screens
This overuse results in symptoms we all know: blurred vision, dry eyes, headaches, and general fatigue. The blue light emitted by our devices only makes matters worse; it disrupts our sleep and accelerates the aging of our eye cells.
Simple Steps to Protect Your Eyes
Dr. Romain Nicolau, co-founder of the Voltaire Institute, offers some essential tips for protecting your eyes every day:
Adopt the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on an object 20 meters away for 20 seconds.
Spend time outdoors: Getting outside is also good for your eyes. Natural light is a valuable ally for your eyes.
Hydrate your eyes: If you are often in a dry environment, consider using moisturizing eye drops to prevent dryness.
See an ophthalmologist regularly: Monitoring your eye health allows for early detection of problems and treatment before they become serious.
Modern solutions for lasting visual comfort
For those already suffering from more significant vision problems, solutions exist. Laser refractive surgery, for example, can permanently correct problems such as myopia, astigmatism, or hyperopia. These modern techniques offer restored visual comfort, far beyond simple temporary correction.
