Most people are facing trouble with their vision today. Some issues tend to be minor and go away on their own, but some eye problems need a specialist’s care. If one's vision is not what it used to be, then one must look into this matter and handle it calmly. According to medical reports, many people are facing vision issues due to the radiations of the screen that causes eye strain. One must inculcate the habit of following a few basic eye exercises to avoid the most minor issue with vision.

Why do most people face eye strain today

People who read for hours, or are stuck to the screen all day are likely to face vision issues. Eyestrain is a common condition today and is becoming even more frequent in this digital age. The digital appliances and smartphones that are widely used in the world, generate reflective radiations that make your eyes feel stressed. Eyestrain also happens when you focus on one particular thing for a longer period of time.
