Deep dives

The importance of managing reading habits to prevent eye strain

Reading extensively, whether for work or pleasure, can strain the eyes. To mitigate this, it is advisable to read on paper whenever possible, as backlit screens are more straining. Sufficient light is also crucial, and reading glasses can be useful if eye strain persists. It is worth noting that the strain caused by reading is often minor compared to prolonged screen use, so managing screen time and reducing exposure to backlit screens are essential for eye health.
