There are ways to prevent these symptoms. Experts at Feel Good Contacts have provided their top tips for protecting your eyes:
Taking regular breaks – 20.20.20 is the most effective way to remember to take enough breaks to give your eyes a rest. Every 20 minutes look away from your screen for 20 seconds and focus your eyes on something 20 metres away.

Keep your eyes moist – When you look at a screen for too long, you forget to blink and this makes our eyes dry. Looking away from your screen and blinking more should help and if you’re really struggling, invest in some eye drops!
Reduce screen brightness – Harsh artificial light is seriously bad for your eyes, most devices have settings to help soften the light on your screen so explore what works best for you.
