More people are working online through digital devices and need to take care of the health of their eyes and avoid digital eye strain. Tom S Chang recommends that patients take regular breaks from concentrating on digital surfaces and asks them to blink frequently while using digital devices. He also recommends that patients use blue-light blocking spectacles to reduce digital eye strain. Computers should be placed four to five inches below eye level and 20 to 28 inches away from the user to avoid glare from the device. Patients wearing masks should ensure that they have a close fit near the nose to prevent air from the mouth from settling over the eye and causing the evaporation of the tear film. Tom S Chang MD believes in prevention being better than cure and educates his patients on eye healthcare to reduce the need for treatments.
