Brexiteer ToryTrolls never like to understand. They'd much rather blame a nationality, country, race etc.
Or you could blame people?
Those who don't adhere to basic rules, if not to protect themselves, but others?
Or Govs for politizing the virus or even worse, politicians who have profited on it?
Or the ever-present media for scaring with obscure facts or even worse, an absence of them leading to ill informed conclusions?
Or the endless parade of 'experts' who have there OWN interests at heart?

Yeah, the priests used to tell us that would happen. But, you know, now it's forbidden to touch anyone else - unless you're the 'prime' minister in which case you can touch anybody whether they like it or not.

Screen time will be roughly the same for the office worker'
No they won't.
All meetings are now on-screen.
All information is now presented and shared onscreen.
Reviews, timesheets, etc on-screen.
Work from home and you're onscreen 9-5 or whatever your working hours are.
But then, Tories are usually sceptical about worker rights and wellbeing, aren't they?

No - in the office I would have had a face to face meeting so that would have meant no screentime and a gap between other screentime but during lockdown I've had more zoom calls so its continuous screentime. All part of the costs of lockdown that will accumulate in the years and decades to come.
One of the many reasons, post-Covid, we must resist attempts to force people to work from home, especially from short-sighted employers who see a way of reducing their accommodation costs.
Large offices are thing of the past, costs environmental impact plus why sit in a germ laden office to do a job that can be done remotely?
I'm quite happy not spending 10-15 hours a week driving to/from the office, that extra time is spent with my eyes rested rather than focusing on the road, I've never got so much sleep than since working from home.
I don't think that regular sized TV's affect your eyesight, just small screens.

Regular screen breaks, apply the 50-10 rule. So take a 10 minute break from the screen after every 50 minutes of screen time.

I'm off to the dentist next week to have a broken tooth sorted - it's the same one that I broke a few months ago and had repaired then, so I think it will need a crown this time. Waiting times are a bit longer, but our dentist is definitely open for business.
So why hasn't my cancelled check up from May 2020 been rearranged yet? I had emergency treatment (one crown replaced, one tooth extracted) in November but no routine treatment/examination is taking place.
And I've never seen a dental surgery with beds, whether they're full of Covid patients or not.

Strap the kidz in and off to Barnard Castle in for a Tory eye test.......
In case it helps I've looked at a screen for 12 hours+ pretty much every day for 20 years and I can still see fine :)
Daylight is preferable where possible though.

Perhaps if we weren't forcibly imprisoned (again) by the hypocritical Government then we may be able to do something else with our time other than screens. Maybe if the Government closed the construction sites where all these knuckledragging builders are openly mixing and kept schools open, then our kids wouldn't be looking at a screen all day to do their schooling.

Very easily done. I've been working from home since March and it's depressing how the 'bad' screen I look at for work has become the 'good' screen I look at for entertainment. I know WFH really suits some people down to the ground but I don't think it's for everyone.
The difference between work life and social life is the log-in!
Makes me laugh - all the Workstation Assessments we were made to not so many years ago no longer seem to be so important now. Self assessment is just a lazy response!
I agree. There are many problems with WFH. We don't all have a spare room for an office, or a proper desk & chair. There are long-term consequences to making office workers do the same tasks at home. Also it is doing my head in that we are now all together all of the time with no distinction between home and work.
Has anyone warned Dominic Cummins. Watch out for a Durham trip.
still harping on about that a year later eh.?

Ok. Fair enough. Many knuckledragging builders then. Not all are, but a lot are. My local shop / petrol station is the worst place i know for non mask wearing and they all seem to be young lads who have pulled up in works vans etc who think it's fine to nip into the shop and pay for fuel without a mask on.
Better set an alarm on my computer to remind me every 20 minutes to look out of the window at the wildlife. Luckily the boss isn't in the same office as me.
Isn't there a law that people who work with VDUs the majority of the the time must have a 5 minute break every hour?
Regular screen breaks, apply the 50-10 rule. So take a 10 minute break from the screen after every 50 minutes of screen time.
Bad eyesight - This must be Boris Johnsons fault also according to Keir Starmer and the so called critics. Quick, criticise him to show your desperation and uselessness.
"how can I make an article about eyesight about how much I hate Starmer and love Boris?!"
This is sad, mate. You don't need to obsess over him with every moment of your life, it's unhealthy.

There's little evidence that watching a screen does any long term harm to your eyes. In the sixties we were told we would get square eyes from watching too much TV. I did, but despite that my eyesight is still good at 67, and I spent most of my working life looking at radar and computer displays. Sunlight is much more harmful. Get some good sun glasses.

Too much text in that article. Difficult to read on my phone...
Keep using the tablets.
What an article! How about some positive ones to drum up some enthusiasm and fight?
We are quick to point out how this pandemic is bad for people's mental health yet for my money are hell bent on worsening it publishing stories that are utterly depressing.
The media has huge responsibility for the deterioration of mental health but I suppose good news doesn't get clicks.

Yes, how dare the BBC publish sensible advice because it's not a happy story. Perhaps you'd rather they stick to cat videos and pretending it's 2019 again?
"I suppose good news doesn't get clicks"... Exactly. Never has, never will. Bad news catches the eye = more clicks = more advertising = more money.

Go outside for some exercise everyday, even if it's just a walk, but make sure look around you at your environment and not at a phone/tablet
Yeah. My local environment is great. Built up sink estate. Nice. Maybe i should take my bike out for 7 miles to see something more stimulating?
Trouble this time of year is it is dark all the hours I am not working from home during the week. If I go for a walk, I don't get lunch. So I don't get to focus my eyes on anything more than 10ft away other than at weekends. My sight has def gone downhill since the autumn, and now I have to really concentrate to focus on distant things now when outdoors.
Yes. We will continue to mention Cummings until he apologises.
But he's too arrogant to do that.

I'd hope you'd travel much further than 7 miles on a bike ride.
It has pavements so you have no problem. Exercise is not required to be a sight seeing trip.
But remember you're only allowed to go for a bike ride outside your local area if you require a security detail.
Why not? 7 miles isn't far on a bike. I ran five miles this morning, which took me 2.5 miles from home. That's exercise - its good for you and legal, so do it.
Maybe you will be able to see other sink estates instead.
Put some effort into making it better then, rather than just whining about it.
I actually sort of agree. I live in a town centre, I can't afford to move and I know it sounds like a 'first world problem' complaining of going outside, but if I step out my door the streets are filled with people. It's dangerous, but I don't want to drive off somewhere because I'll get fined. Feel imprisoned at the moment...sigh. But people will just keep saying 'so move' like it's easy to do.

I fear many people have been told or decided themselves that Apps make better suggestions than using their own common sense. For all the worries about automation taking jobs, here we are allowing apps to control our lives. I think people need to switch their brains 'off' and 'on' for a hard reboot....If people just opened their eyes maybe they'd see things more clearly.

Boris can do 7 mile , but those two women couldnt do 5.

We should be worried about the impact of all the "online learning" on kids. As well as it being grossly inferior to being in the classroom they are having their eyesight buggered.
Kids NEED to be back in school. The virus risk to them is negligible, and it's really tiny for most of their teachers.

Except it's not just about the risk to the kids themselves, it's also about the risk to the families they live with, and everyone the family is in contact with. The point of staying at home is to reduce the virus being passed around.
You dont get it do you?
Its all about spreading the disease even if kids dont get ill they can be asymptomatic and pass it easily between households and to others at risk.
For the next year make the lost time up with longer days (doesn't have to be much) and reduced holidays.
And remember that schools are places of education - not creches or potty training classes.

Some people are just plain thick. Never argue with an idiot, they'll win due to experience.
I've missed your common sense comments on TES. The biggest bug bear of ruining education in the name of this trivial virus is the mis-use of the word fair. Fair exams have been cancelled and replaced by a system which isn't fair; every teacher will assess grades differently and if mini exams are used there is a greater chance that some students will have missed all of the content.
Idiot.

In the early 1960s my optician, who had been an ophthalmic surgeon, told me to exercise my eyes - without moving my head, moves eyes to focus on the four corners of a wall (ceiling and floor) for a few minutes every day. As I’ve gotten older, my short-sightedness has improved. It seeming was exercise for the eye muscles to help with distance vision.

"Some people are just plain thick."
You got that right. They are too stupid to see that the collateral damage of lockdowns and restrictions vastly outweigh any harm this virus has or might yet do.

The picture of an old person is highly misleading.
We should be worried about the impact of all the "online learning" on kids. As well as it being grossly inferior to being in the classroom they are having their eyesight buggered.
Kids NEED to be back in school. The virus risk to them is negligible, and it's really tiny for most of their teachers.
Stop sacrificing young people!

I've missed your common sense comments on TES. The biggest bug bear of ruining education in the name of this trivial virus is the mis-use of the word fair. Fair exams have been cancelled and replaced by a system which isn't fair; every teacher will assess grades differently and if mini exams are used there is a greater chance that some students will have missed all of the content.
Yes, the TES script kiddies have made sure that anything I write immediately gets deleted.
Like so many, their "journalists" idea of freedom of speech is being free to hold the same opinions as them.

Is this a "news" story to try to keep opticians open? Proper lockdown please will get it over with quicker
1. Opticians provide an essential health service.
2. The fastest way to get the epidemic over is to force people to attend unregulated house parties every day & night until everybody has contracted the virus. With enforcement of this we could get the epidemic over in 10 days.

still harping on about that a year later eh.?
Explain exactly what he should apologise for. Me, I couldn't give 2 hoots about him, but really, what should he apologise for.? Will it change anything.? I'm seriously interested as to how him apologising will make life better all of a sudden.
Opticians have absolutely nothing to do with the health of your eyes, all they want is to flog you some new expensive glasses and frames and lots of lens coatings and then change your prescription next year and flog you another load.
Dentists are the same but with teeth, its not oral hygiene its what they can flog you while your there.

I wonder if you'll feel the same if you develop cataracts, which will beundectected or, worse still, a tumour on the brain. I was diagnosed and treated for the former, my son for the latter. Both were detected regular eye tests.
How much nonsense can you get into one post?

Consider this lefty. In 10 Months!!? of course 90000 deaths is trivial. From 3 million infections, that implies a recovery rate of 97%.
I fear that bleeding heart lefties are sadly ignorant to the facts of life and require the rest of us to tuck them in at night.

Be very clear on this, YOU need to think about your eyesight EVERYDAY ...because the NHS won't bother.
Not just eyes ??
We must monitor all aspects of our health because the healthcare system has all of its resources diverted to Covid.
I monitor ...
??????? Exercise
??????? Blood pressure
??????? Weight
??????? ECG
??????? Fat
??????? Water %
??????? Temperature
??????? Sleep
I have about 4 different devices to do all of this, which all feed into one app. ??

Yet another example of how our overall health and well-being is being harmed by this myopic government. And I blame the idiots who voted them in.
So anyone who does not vote the same as you is a idiot? It's called democracy a concept that is alien to fascist lefties

In the early 1960s my optician, who had been an ophthalmic surgeon, told me to exercise my eyes - without moving my head, moves eyes to focus on the four corners of a wall (ceiling and floor) for a few minutes every day. As I’ve gotten older, my short-sightedness has improved. It seeming was exercise for the eye muscles to help with distance vision.
