Self-isolation and social distancing M
What you need to know about excessive screen time and your eyes
ultiple studies in the UK and US by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child
Health indicate reducing screen usage to under two hours per day improves performance on tests of mental func- tioning in children. We could all use a little less screen time and a lot more mental functioning, however social distancing makes this more difficult. It’s probably harder now than ever to avoid looking at a screen and it’s not just our brains that suffer, but our eyes too. Contact lens-related dry-eye affects
more than 50% of contact lens wearers at some point1
. Tis causes a feeling of
dryness, grit and foreign-body sensa- tion and is a generally unpleasant experience for those who need the help of
contact lenses. Rewetting
drops are the most accepted solution, but having to interrupt one’s day in order to wash hands and apply the drops can be an inconvenience. If you’re a contact lens wearer, you
need to be extra careful about dry eyes. Why not try the Eyebou Vitamin Contact Lens immersed in vitamin E, B6 and B12 designed to keep your eyes moist and healthy for longer?
