There are many questions and anxieties that pop into our heads with regards to our eyes and the digital strain we are experiencing at the moment. Here, I’m going to attempt to answer the most often asked questions for your benefit.

How much screen time is too much screen time?

This is a tricky one. It depends on how you use the screen actually, more than how long you use it for.

- The right way is to use just one – the largest screen you can.

- Adjust the screen height so you are looking down at the screen at almost a 45-degree angle.

- The screen brightness should match the room brightness and not be very bright or very dull in contrast to the room lights.
