How to tell if you're on screens too much

They're part of our daily life, but you might be overdoing your usage without even realising

- 

From smartphones and TVs to tablets and computers, adult Brits spend on average seven to eight hours a day looking at some form of screen.

That's a whopping 30% of our day and potentially around half of our awake time, which can impact our health and wellbeing.

VISION ISSUES

Staring at a screen too much can start to create physical symptoms. Eye strain is common, including pain, light sensitivity, redness, itching and dry eyes due to less blinking. Headaches and vision problems also go hand in hand with eye strain. Headaches are often around the temples and vision can become blurred with difficulty focusing. If you are experiencing any of these, have a check-up with an optician.
