Extended screen time can strain your eyes, affecting productivity and causing exhaustion. In an exclusive interview with HT Lifestyle, Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, Founder of Akshar Yoga Institutions, suggests practical tips:
1. Reduce Screen Time: Limit daily screen exposure for ample eye rest.
2. Take Frequent Breaks:Breaks prevent extended periods of eye strain.
3. Avoid Dim Lighting: Ensure sufficient lighting to reduce eye strain.
4. Steer Clear of Fluorescent Lights: Harsh on the eyes, may weaken vision over time.
