Blue Light From Tech Gadgets And Digital Eye Strain: More Than 73 Percent Of Young Adults Suffer From Symptoms
Do you have unexplained dry, irritated eyes? Blurred vision? Neck and back pain and headaches? If so, your digital gadgets may be (at least partly) to blame.
The results of a new survey released at the Consumer Electronics Show by the Vision Council, a trade group representing the nation's eyecare products, shows that most Americans are overexposing their eyes to technology. Nearly 90 percent said they spend two or more hours on a digital device each day, and many spend significantly more time on them. One in 10 reported spending at least 75 percent of their waking hours looking at a screen.
