\n More than half of Americans are suffering from \u201cscreen fatigue\u201d due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new research.<\/p>\n

A new survey of 2,000 Americans found 53 percent of respondents are feeling burnt out on screens over the last few months.<\/p>\n

The study showed that before the COVID-19 pandemic, the average American surveyed was getting about fours of screen time per day.<\/p>\n

Since the quarantine started, that number has jumped up to over six hours \u2014 and their eyes are paying the price.<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Foster Grant, found nearly six in 10 respondents said they often get screen-related aches and pains, with the average respondent getting about three per week.<\/p>\n

Three in four of those polled said when they take breaks from looking at a screen they like to go outside and look at nature.<\/p>\n

According to the results, 57 percent of Americans surveyed said the pandemic has caused them to suffer from more \u201cscreenaches\u201d than ever before.<\/p>\n

Two-thirds of those polled said the very first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is subject their tired eyes to a screen.<\/p>\n

And not only do they hurt, but six in 10 also said the uptick in screen-related aches and pains leaves them feeling a lot less productive than normal.<\/p>\n

Looking at screens is also quite draining, with two in three saying looking at a screen too long makes them feel physically tired.<\/p>\n

Americans are looking at screens so much during quarantine that they have to take four screen breaks every day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s gotten so bad that 56 percent of respondents said they are actively trying to cut down on their screen time to give their eyes a much-needed rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cScreen fatigue and increased tech time is happ<\/a>ening for adults and children much more frequently these days, but most Americans \u2014 61 percent \u2014 don\u2019t own a pair of blue light blocking glasses!\u201d said Matthew Coon, SVP, Global Product Development & Sourcing, Foster Grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe science<\/a> is very clear \u2014 these glasses can work wonders to decrease eye strain and the aches and pains that come with it by limiting exposure to blue light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Six in 10 Americans surveyed said they have taken up more reading during the quarantine period, but it hasn\u2019t helped their eyes much.<\/p>\n

Nearly half of those polled said they get eye pains and strains while trying to read physical books.<\/p>\n

And the average respondent said they can only get through 24 pages of a physical book before having to put it down to give their eyes a rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results showed that 39 percent of respondents actually own blue light blocking glasses, with nearly 80 percent saying it helps,\u201d continued Coon.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in a good pair of reading glasses and\/or blue light glasses doesn\u2019t have to break the bank and in turn to can help protect your eyes from unnecessary strain. Look for a reputable, established brand that offers quality styles, innovation, assortment and value.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
