Screen Time 🖥️ vs. Blink Time 👀
Prolonged screen use can significantly reduce your blink rate — a key factor in maintaining healthy, comfortable eyes.

📉 While we typically blink 15–20 times per minute, this can decrease by over 50% when focusing on digital devices.
The result? Dry, strained eyes, discomfort, and blurred vision.

💡Protect your eyes:
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule
• Stay hydrated
• Make a conscious effort to blink regularly

Your eyes deserve care.
Prioritise visual comfort, especially in the digital age. 🖥️

👁️ What does impaired vision really look like?

This image gives you a glimpse into how different eye conditions can affect what you see:

👓 Double Vision – Seeing two images of a single object, often caused by eye muscle imbalances.

🌪️ Astigmatism – “rugby ball shaped eyes” causes blurred or distorted vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.

🎯Poor Focusing – Difficulty switching focus between near and far objects, often due to eye strain or uncorrected refractive errors.

👀 Eye Movement Problems – Unsteady or jumpy vision from poor coordination between the eyes.

These issues can impact daily life, reading, driving, and overall comfort.

🧠 Your eyes and brain work as a team—let’s make sure they’re in sync.
