We're All Glued to Our Screens
作者: Katie Hunt
With much of the globe now under coronavirus-related restrictions, we have never been so tethered to our screens --for work, to connect with friends, to unwind or to distract ourselves.
隨著全球大部分地區(qū)受到新冠疫情的有關(guān)限制，我們從來沒有像現(xiàn)在這樣，被拴在了屏幕上--為了工作，為了與朋友聯(lián)系，為了放松或者為了分散注意力。
One new data suggested that adults are spending more than 13 hours a day using screens, a spike up from 10 hours a day a year ago.
一項(xiàng)新數(shù)據(jù)表明，成年人每天花在屏幕上時(shí)間，超過了13小時(shí)，與一年前日均10小時(shí)相比，大幅增加了。
With children cut off from physically attending school, they are more reliant on laptops and tablets for online lessons and entertainment.
孩子們不再線下上課，他們更加依賴筆記本電腦和平板電腦進(jìn)行在線學(xué)習(xí)和娛樂。
And with our new routines likely to have a lot more screen time for the foreseeable future, experts say it's important to learn how to protect our eyes from suffering as a result.
在可預(yù)見的未來，我們的新生活方式可能會有更多的屏幕時(shí)間，專家說，重要的是要學(xué)會如何保護(hù)我們的眼睛不受影響。
While there is no evidence of long-term eye damage from extended use of smartphones, computer screens or other devices, prolonged use can sometimes lead to blurred vision, eye fatigue, dry or irritated eyes and headaches, according to Moorfield Eye Hospital in London.
雖然沒有證據(jù)表明長期使用智能手機(jī)、電腦屏幕或其他電子設(shè)備會對眼睛造成損害，但根據(jù)倫敦莫爾菲爾德眼科醫(yī)院的說法，長期使用有時(shí)會導(dǎo)致視力模糊、眼睛疲勞、眼睛干燥或受刺激以及頭痛。
Dr. Raj Maturi, the clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology and a retina specialist, called these symptoms "digital vision syndrome."
美國眼科學(xué)會的臨床發(fā)言人、視網(wǎng)膜專家拉吉·馬圖里博士將這些癥狀稱為“數(shù)字視力綜合征”。
He, along with the doctors at the Moorfield Eye Hospital, recommended a 20-20-20 approach --for every 20 minutes spent at a screen you must take a break and look 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds.
他和摩爾菲爾德眼科醫(yī)院的醫(yī)生共同建議，可采用20-20-20的方法--每在屏幕前呆20分鐘，你就必須休息一下，并遠(yuǎn)看前方20英尺處持續(xù)看20秒鐘。
"When you are looking at a close target, your eyes are just training that one muscle at all time, and looking into the distance can relieve it," he said.
“當(dāng)你在看一個(gè)近距離的目標(biāo)時(shí)，你的眼睛就一直在訓(xùn)練那一塊肌肉，而看向遠(yuǎn)方可以緩解它。”他說。
