Introduction:
Whether in the office, working from home, or during leisure time, our everyday lives today largely take place in front of screens. Studies show that on average, we spend 8 to 10 hours a day on laptops, smartphones, and other devices. This is not without consequences for our eyes.
Fatigue, dry eyes, headaches, and even sleep problems can be exacerbated by high levels of artificial blue light. Here are 5 simple yet effective tips for keeping your eyes healthy in your digital day-to-day life.
1. Use blue light filter glasses
High-quality blue light filter glasses reduce the harmful levels of artificial blue light emitted by monitors, smartphones, and LED lamps. This protects your eyes and effectively prevents fatigue and sleep problems. Models like our BLANCO or OMBRA glasses combine this protection with a modern, stylish design.
2. Take regular screen breaks
Even the best glasses can't replace the necessary breaks. The so-called 20-20-20 rule helps: Every 20 minutes, look at a distance of about 20 meters for 20 seconds. This relaxes the eye muscles and stimulates tear production.
3. Ensure adequate lighting
A room that's too dark when working on a screen puts additional strain on your eyes. Make sure you have balanced, indirect lighting that's as close to natural daylight as possible.
4. Position the screen correctly
The monitor should be positioned slightly below eye level and at a distance of about 50–70 cm. This avoids an unnatural head position and reduces strain on your neck and eyes.
5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Drinking enough fluids and a varied diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E , as well as omega-3 fatty acids, strengthen eye health. Regular exercise also supports blood circulation and thus contributes to overall eye health.
Conclusion:
With these simple tips, you can specifically relieve the strain on your eyes in your digital life and keep them healthy in the long run. High-quality blue light filter or photochromic glasses offer a decisive advantage – they not only protect your eyes but also stylishly complement your everyday look.
