73% of young Australians are affected by eye strain. The amount of time people spend looking at screens is increasing. Aussies spending more than nine hours each day exposed to smartphones, computers and televisions – that’s more time spent looking at digital screens than sleeping! And, unless you’re willing to forego your weekly hit of Facebook, Netflix and health articles on The Check Up, it’s likely you’re one of the 73% of young people (or maybe just young-at-heart?) affected by eye strain.
