Digital blues: Give your eyes a break

Between work and my penchant for falling down the rabbit holes of the internet, I can find myself spending hours at the computer or on my smartphone. The resulting eye strain after an online marathon leaves me seeing double.

A few weeks ago, I ordered a pair of blue light-blocking eyeglasses that claim to filter out the invisible blue rays emitted by digital devices. Research confirms blue light from digital screens can fatigue eyes quickly.

My result? A noticeable difference that includes less eye dryness and a quicker recovery to normal vision when I look up from the screen.
