Still, the infographic offers some good tips and reminders for both mobile device users and general computer use. For example, blinking often. using protective eyewear, and using saline drops to counteract computer vision syndrome (CVS). There are compelling reasons for mobile phone users to practise better posture and follow advice we’ve noted before such as taking breaks and stretching to avoid sitting all day.
