The publishers assure that one of the star gifts of this Christmas will be the electronic book readers or e-books . But can the use of these readers be harmful to your eyes? The new digital reading terminals have electronic ink ( e-ink ) screens, which do not emit light, so they are softer for the eye, promising to be “easy to read for our eyes” and even ensure that they are “equal. appearance and reading ability “than a conventional book.
According to Anabel Ríos, Product Development Manager at Multiópticas, these are the 7 basic tips to keep in mind for a healthy use of the new terminals.
1. Do not use them when you are too tired
2. Use uniform lighting avoiding generating shadows and reflections
3. Adjust the font to see correctly from 30/45 cm away
4. Avoid dry eyes with simple blinks
5. Take breaks every hour for eye relaxation
6. Smartly manage your global exposure
7. Don’t forget to get an annual vision check.
