Why taking care of your eyesight is more urgent than ever
We spend on average 7 to 10 hours a day in front of screens. Eye strain, dry eyes, and myopia are rapidly increasing. A few simple habits are enough to protect your visual health in the long term.
1. Apply the 20-20-20 rule
Every 20 minutes in front of a screen, look at an object 6 meters away for 20 seconds. This reflex significantly reduces muscle tension in the eye.
2. Adjust the brightness of your screens
A screen that is too bright in a dark room forces your eyes to constantly compensate. Use adaptive mode and activate the blue light filter as soon as night falls.
3. Wear blue light-blocking lenses
Certified lenses, like those offered as an option on the Joey Cyan frames, block harmful wavelengths without distorting colors.
4. Regularly hydrate your eyes
In front of a screen, we blink 3 times less often than normal. Consider preservative-free artificial tears.
5. Care for your ambient lighting
Opt for soft, diffuse light, preferably natural. The ideal: a uniformly lit room.
6. Consult an ophthalmologist every 2 years
Even without apparent discomfort, regular vision check-ups can detect early disorders before they worsen.
7. Eat for your eyes
Omega-3s (salmon, walnuts), lutein (spinach, kale), and vitamin A (carrots, sweet potatoes) are valuable allies for the retina.
