We do everything with technology and electronics, read, write, shop, socialize, even work, and being that we’re currently still maneuvering through a pandemic and life has changed as we know it, people are definitely sitting on their laptops a lot more often than they used to. Since working from home, content editing and online streaming are a way of life now, it’s important to know how to protect yourself from frequent migraines and headaches due to constantly staring at a screen for hours at a time.

When new computers turn on, they’re set on manual or auto. This is because these settings are usually the easiest to understand and work with, but just because they’re easy to work with, doesn’t mean they’re benefiting you.

Changing your computer settings can be extremely beneficial to your eyes and headspace. Sometimes your settings are too strong and they’re causing more damage.
