🔺 WARNING: Too Much Screen Time Could Be Hurting Your Eyes
This Month at Newtown Health Pharmacy: Let’s Talk About Eye Health
We live in a digital world—constantly connected, constantly looking at screens. But all that screen time can quietly damage one of your most valuable assets: your vision.
Digital Eye Strain is becoming more common for people of all ages. If you’ve ever experienced dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, or neck and shoulder discomfort after a long day on the computer, you’re not alone. Prolonged exposure to screens and blue light can also disrupt your sleep and strain your long-term eye health.
Simple Steps to Protect Your Eyes:
âś… Practice the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
âś… Blink more often and consider using artificial tears.
✅ Adjust your screen’s brightness and use blue light filters or blue light-blocking glasses.
✅ Position your screen so it’s slightly below eye level to reduce neck and eye strain.
“We’re seeing more people with tired, dry, and strained eyes—and they don’t always connect it to screen use,” says Mahmoud, RPh at Newtown Health Pharmacy. “Stop in anytime—we’re happy to recommend safe, effective eye care solutions tailored to your needs.”
Your eyes do so much for you—this month, let’s return the favor.
