MEDICINE HAT – A local optometrist knows our phones are usually the last thing we see before catching some shut eye.
It’s not uncommon for them to also be the first thing we see when we wake up.
But all of that screen time is having a negative impact on our eyes.
“You’ve got new gadgets, e-readers and tablets and phones,” said Dr. Justin Snell with Eye Solutions. “Everything’s getting used a lot more and so all of it seems to cause glare and just have its effect on your eyes throughout the day.”
