Computer vision syndrome is eye strain due to long periods of time spent staring at digital devices. So, take a break from the screens occasionally. Make sure you’ve got at least 28 inches between you and your computer screen. Have you tried “dark mode?” You should try it. Oh, and don’t forget to blink!
