Op. Dr. İşcan made important statements about myopia. Stating that myopia may affect half of the world’s population within 25 years due to long screen time, Op. Dr. İşcan said that digital eye fatigue syndrome is seen at a rate of 50-90 percent, especially in office workers who are in front of the screen for 2-4 hours a day.
WE SHOULD REST OUR EYES
Stating that this situation causes fatigue, dryness and focusing problems in the eyes, Op. Dr. Yalçın İşcan said, “There is a way to prevent this, just as we need to rest our legs when we stand and rest our eyes when we sit. It is very important to look 6 meters away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes and rest the eyes.
‘CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM SCREEN’
It is also important for eye health to use glasses that filter light. Children should spend at least 2 hours a day outside in daylight. “Children also need to be kept away from screens,” he said.
