Industry: Healthcare

Wichita, KS (PRUnderground) January 25th, 2023

Electronic screens are the first sight of the common man these days. From kids to golden-agers, people keep on swiping screens all day long. It is merely unavoidable to detach devices like smartphones and computers from our lives. We have become more dependent on technology for most of our day-to-day activities. Over time, technology can adversely affect the health of our eyes. We need to learn to use technology in a smarter way to help minimize ocular side effects. The 2023 ThreeBestRated® award winner Dr. Reena Patel, M.D. of Wichita Vision Institute is generous enough to educate us on common routines to take care of our eyes. They are as follows:

  • Most people do not realize that their blink rate decreases from 20 times a minute to 6 times a minute when on electronic devices. Take sufficient breaks that allow your eyes to blink as it helps keep your eyes moist by reducing dryness and irritation.
  • Eyes are not designed for continuous staring. Hence follow the 20–20–20 rule which means staring at an object that is at least 20 feet long for 20 seconds after 20 minutes of continuous focus on electric screens to keep your eyes healthy.
  • Know the proper way to use mobile phones — always keep them at a proper distance from your eyes (commonly 8 inches); always have adequate light as the blue rays can affect your sleep patterns in dark conditions; adjust brightness, contrast and text size according to your needs.
  • Don’t compromise on sleeping hours as restlessness can seriously affect the health of your eyes.
  • Go for regular eye check-ups which help you to know your health condition and find any illness at the earlier stages. Don’t forget to follow proper eye hygiene.
  • Double check the quality of screens you use and keep them clean to minimize eye strain.

Use technology smarter without damaging your health, says the expert. It is great to check with professionals like Dr. Reena Patel who is a renowned eye specialist in the regions of Wichita for any of your eye-related problems.
