Every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It is imperfect science and still a useful interruption. Blinking more during hard focus prevents the sandpaper feeling.
Desk geometry
Your optometrist can help with computer-specific prescriptions if you need them.
- Screen slightly below eye level
- Glare off the window, not on the monitor
- Larger text instead of leaning in
Children and outdoor time
Daylight and looking at distance are part of healthy visual development conversations. Unlimited close-up hours are a modern experiment. Build outdoor play where you can, without turning it into panic.
