Individuals need to be mindful of their screen time and take regular breaks to rest their eyes.

Using the 20-20-20 rule, which involves looking away from the screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds, can help alleviate the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.

Protecting your eyes from the harmful effects of prolonged screen time is crucial for maintaining good eye health.
