In this booming era of technology, we spend a significant amount of time in front of a screen – which can be harmful to our vision health. From work to socializing on our phones and relaxing in front of the television, screen time has become a regular part of our daily routine. By the end of the day, it has become expected for us to feel physical strain, such as dry or tired eyes and pain or tension in our head, neck, or shoulders. However, this should not be our normal. Reduce these unpleasant feelings by adopting these helpful monitor-adjusting tips! 
Reposition Your Monitor Height
Monitor height matters. Investing in a monitor mount for your computer can help you adequately reposition your monitor height for maximum effectiveness, safety, and vision comfort. There are several efficient mounting configurations to choose from to satisfy your unique needs!
Adjust Monitor Distance
The screen on your computer or television should be 25 inches or an arm’s length away from your eyes. Furthermore, the center of the monitor should rest about 10-15 degrees beneath your eye level for maximum vision safety.
Take Vision Breaks
No matter the adjustments you implement into your screen time, to ensure optimal vision health, it is essential to take screen time breaks. The 20-20-20 rule is an excellent place to start; every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds to look at an object 20 feet away from you. Beyond the 20-20-20 trick, it is recommended to take 15-minute breaks every two hours spent in front of a screen.
Your vision is an essential component of your overall well-being. Therefore, it is vital to protect it in any way you can.
