With all of the uncertainty surrounding each of us during 2020, one thing is for certain — our screen time has shot up. Now that everything possible has been moved to a virtual space, meetings, conferences, family and friend gatherings are all happening on a screen, and that excess time is taking a toll on your eyes.

According to some sources, screen time has increased 30% worldwide during the COVID-19 health crisis, and 65% of American adults are reporting symptoms of digital eye strain. The blue light given off by our beloved gadgets and devices penetrates all the way to our retinas, and can cause damage to our vision over time. Thankfully, there are blue light glasses that can protect us, and now there are screen protectors as well.

EyeJust is a brand that’s created ophthalmologist-approved blue light blocking screen protectors for smartphones, tablets and laptops that you can use to reduce digital eyestrain and keep your eyeballs healthy as you stare into the pixel-y abyss all day long.
