Three tips to reduce your exposure
Get an eye exam.
Talk to your VSP® network doctor about your lifestyle and ask about the best options for reducing digital eye strain. Even if you don't wear corrective lenses, some blue light coatings are available for non-prescription eyewear.
Limit screen time before bed.
Turn devices off a few hours before going to bed. Also, consider lowering the brightness of your screen, enabling the blue light filter, or downloading a blue-light reducing app for your device.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule.
Give your eyes a break every 20 minutes, and spend 20 seconds looking at something at least 20 feet away.
