Do you know how to protect your eyes when using your phone?

1. Adjusting screen settings

You know that your screen can be dimmed. Everyone’s eyes are different, and all smartphones allow you to change contrast, brightness, and text settings.

Lower the brightness when you’re indoors, or turn on the auto-brightness setting to allow your phone to adjust depending on your environment. Increase text size to read text messages more easily!

2. Keep a reasonable distance

You can watch everything on phone screen mine from 16 – 18 inches. Don’t hold your phone too close, but if you find yourself bringing it closer, consider magnifying the screen.

3. Use Night Mode

Modern Android and Apple smartphones offer night mode features that make it easy to automatically reduce eye strain at night. Turn it on and your phone will automatically adjust your screen brightness settings depending on the time of day.

4. Don’t forget to blink

This may sound silly, but it’s easy to forget to blink while using smartphones and tablets. Subconsciously, we are so focused on the content that we just stare at the device.

Every time we blink, we are keeping our eyes moist and refocusing our eyes. Do it regularly to prevent your eyes from getting tight and dry.

5. Use an anti-reflective screen protector

The smartphone screen is glossy but the matte screen protectors give you that old LCD screen finish. They protect your screen and reduce glare from ambient light or sunlight.

6. Use artificial tears

When you have eye strain, be it caused by a computer or mobile device, artificial tears can be a powerful tool to keep your eyes comfortably lubricated. There are a variety of lubricating eye drops on the market – both with and without preservatives – that can be purchased over-the-counter. You may need to try several times before you find the eye drops that work best for you.
