Except for reading, people were using smart devices. A long-term usage of smart devices may make your eyes dry or stiff and eventually become dim due to “Xerophthalmia(dry eye syndrome).” Prolonged COVID-19 has inevitably led to a large increase in the use of electronic devices due to the culture of avoiding direct contacts with others, so-called “untact culture.” Thus, many people have developed habits of worsening their eye health, which may be fatal to them in the future. So, let’s try to practice the following habits in order to keep your eye health! These are the five ways the Dongguk Post recommends to keep Donggukians’ eye health!
