After a long treatment, it came to light that Manju is suffering from the problem of “smartphone vision syndrome”.

If you want to save your eyes, then follow the expert rule of “20 20 20”.

According to Dr. Sudhir Kumar, never keep your eyes on the digital screen for a long time while using it because it can cause computer vision syndrome. At the same time, women usually ignore the body posture while using electronic gadgets, and most of the time they sit in front of the digital screen for a long time. Due to which the problem of vision loss and many other health related problems may have to be faced.

In such a situation, the doctor has advised to follow the “20 20 20” rule. In this rule, it is necessary to take a break of 20 seconds after every 20 minutes of screen use. At the same time, in this break, try to see something kept at a distance of 20 feet with straight eyes. This reduces the chances of your vision loss to a great extent. Not only this, it is also very important to maintain a proper distance using the screen.
