      When we spend a long time focusing on video games, it can cause a mild eye strain. Also, when intensely focused on tv or video games, we often don’t blink as often as we should, and this causes our eyes to get red and irritable. All of this can be avoided by (i) taking a very short break every 20-30 minutes, (ii) making sure the lighting in the room and on the tv is decent, and (iii) remembering to blink often!
