5 Simple Ways to Rescue Your Eyes from Too Much Screen Time

5 Simple Ways to Rescue Your Eyes from Too Much Screen Time

Screens are part of our daily routine — from work to relaxation. While we can’t avoid them, we can protect our eyes better. Here are five simple ways to give your eyes the care they need.

1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
It’s a simple way to relax your eye muscles and ease digital fatigue throughout the day.

2. Step Outside for Natural Light

A few minutes of sunlight helps your eyes refocus and recover from screen strain.
Try stepping out for short breaks — your eyes (and mood) will thank you.

3. Eat for Eye Health

Add colour to your plate with spinach, pumpkin, corn, eggs, and salmon.
These foods are rich in lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3, which help filter blue light and keep your eyes hydrated.

4. Adjust Your Screen Habits

Small tweaks make a big difference:

  • Keep your screen an arm’s length away

  • Use Night Mode in the evening

  • Blink often and match screen brightness to your room

These mindful habits keep your eyes comfortable and focused.

5. Support from Within

Your eyes need daily nourishment too. SpringHealth EyeMax — a mixed berries drink — combines Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Bilberry, and Grape Seed Extract to help:

  • Filter blue light naturally

  • Support eye comfort and clear vision

  • Reduce tiredness from long screen hours

With its refreshing berry taste, EyeMax makes daily eye care simple — at work, in class, or on the go.

A Small Change for Brighter Days. Your eyes see the moments that matter most — from work to loved ones. Take a little time each day to care for them. Small habits add up to long-lasting vision health.

Because when your eyes feel good, life simply looks better.
