World Sight Day 2023

Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look 20 metres away.

Blink often to keep your eyes moist. If necessary, use eye drops.

Adjust the position of your screen: ideally, it should be tilted 15-20° below eye level and at a distance of between 50 and 70 cm.

You can change the brightness, contrast, colour temperature and text size. These small adjustments can ease the strain on your eyes.

Position your screen to avoid reflections and try anti-glare screens or screen protectors.

If you wear glasses or contact lenses to correct your eyesight, make sure you wear them as recommended by your ophthalmologist. Have your routine check-ups and discuss with your doctor any adjustments you need to make to reduce discomfort and tension.
