As hundreds of thousands of bargain hunters wreak havoc on malls and outlets across America this Black Friday, savvy online shoppers will be avoiding chaos and potential bodily harm by waiting until Cyber Monday to score their holiday deals. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can help your patients defend their eyes on Cyber Monday, regardless of how long it takes them to find this season’s must-have gift. And unlike prepping for the carnage at the local outlets or mega store on Black Friday, none of them require padding or a helmet. 1. Shed Some Light on Blue LightKnowledge is power. If they don’t know that blue light exposure can lead to digital eye strain, they won’t think to reduce their exposure. So be sure to give them the low-down on this high-energy light emitted by their screens. 2. Explain the 20/20/20 RuleWhile it might be hard for the avid shopper to pry their eyes away from the screen for fear of missing a flash sale on this year’s ugliest Christmas ties, taking a break is essential for combating eye strain. Encourage patients to take a 20-second break every 20 minutes and focus their eyes on something at least 20 feet away. 3. Reduce the Brightness, Increase the Font SizeMany times, the simple solutions are the overlooked ones. Turning down the screen brightness and increasing font size can reduce squinting, glare, and subsequent eye strain. 4. Offer Tips on Available TechnologyThe blue light issue hasn’t gone unnoticed by app or device developers.

And apps are available for both Android and Apple devices to cut back the amount of blue light coming from a screen. 5.
