If your vision is good with correction if needed or without correction, the main problem with prolonged screen time is fatigue. It is important to take breaks. If you have a refractive error or presbyopia and don't have your glasses or contact lenses, this will cause more and faster eye fatigue symptoms during screen time.
No. The greatest problem is the possible negative effect on the brain!!!
Hello, and thank you for your question. Up to today, and to my knowledge, there is no evidence that screen time is harmful to your eyes in any way. In my experience, anyone who tells you that it is harmful has something to sell you.
Can make dry eyes worse, but no issues with intraocular structures.
