Posted by Bharat (#1) 4199 days ago (Editorial)
Looking at screens is now as much a part of modern life as driving a car or eating a ready meal if not more so. Millions of office workers spend upwards of seven hours a day in front of a computer, and laptops and mobile phones have also increased screen use.According to Steve Schallhorn, ophthalmic surgeon and chairman of Optical Express's International Medical Advisory Board, more than one in four adults (26%), 22% of 25 to 34-year-olds, and 17% of 18 to 24-year-olds, have visited an optician because their eyes felt tired from using a PC or watching TV or other screens.To see more details visit, www.independent.ie
