No one’s saying you need to give up all tech and retreat to live an unplugged hermit life in the woods. However, you can do some simple things to minimize the strain on your eyes and overall discomfort. (Also try adding these yoga poses into your workout routine to combat bad posture caused by constant tech use.)

For one, look at your screen set up (especially if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer). The closer something is to your eyes, the more they have to focus and turn in. For most people, that can lead to a more rapid onset and intensity of symptoms, says Bazan. A good rule of thumb is to focus on a screen that’s an arm’s-length away.

“While I have ­yet to see concrete evidence, anecdotally, working on a larger screen, with larger fonts, that are of high resolution, seems to help stave off symptoms, especially when the person is wearing a customized pair of digital eyewear,” says Bazan.

Yep, you can get special glasses to help specifically with eye strain from using devices: If you regularly wear glasses, anti-reflective and blue light-blocking treatments can be added to your lenses, or you can get non-prescription glasses with the same treatment if your vision is already 20/20. And, FYI, if your vision prescription is outdated or incorrect, it could be making digital eye strain symptoms worse, says Bazan. (All the more reason to get on top of your yearly checkups.)

And last but not least, develop a wandering eye—the good kind. Both The Vision Council and the AOA recommend following the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a break from looking at a screen for 20 seconds by looking at something 20 feet away. (Better yet? Walk around for two minutes. It’ll help reduce the health risks of all that sitting.)

On the bright side? If you’ve ever wanted to get glasses but have perfect vision, now you totally have an excuse to grab a trendy pair in the name of “health”.
