#DYK? The average American worker spends about seven hours a day on the computer. If you have dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, or other symptoms, you could have a condition called Computer Vision Syndrome, also referred to as digital eye strain. Follow the 20-20-20 rule to ease the discomfort: take a 20-second break, to view something 20 feet away, every 20 minutes.
If this doesn’t work, take an extended break, or contact your optometry/ophthalmology clinic for an eye exam. Learn more: https://vce.health.mil/Published-Material/Brochures-and-Posters/ComputerVisionSyndrome https://tricare.mil/vision
