  1. Managing Screen Time for Your Eye Care OKC Your quality of eyesight can significantly impact your life, so it is essential to consider eye care OKC. As we live in a digital world, an important part of caring for your vision is limiting your screen time to a healthy level. Why You Need to Manage Screen Time Too much time on a phone or computer can negatively affect anyone by causing: Eye fatigue. Intense use without any breaks can tire out your eyes. This can cause headaches, double vision, and difficulty concentrating. ● Dryness and irritation. You tend to blink less when staring at a screen. This can dry your eyes, potentially impacting eye health and causing blurry vision. ● Eye strain. Too much time staring at a screen without blinking can cause strain. This is worsened if your screen is not at the ideal angle or too close to you. ● Loss of focus flexibility. Your eyes should quickly adjust focus between distances.
