All my lectures are online and prerecorded, meaning my screen time is regularly above 8-9 hours, and I am getting a feeling that my eyes are suffering, what do you guys to do to minimize degradation?
Here's a few things that helped me when I was at university during the pandemic.
Make sure your room is well lit. Natural light is best, but artificial light is better than nothing.
If you have a tv, try watch some of your lectures on that instead of on your computer/phone. Focusing on stuff that's a bit further away is easier on the eyes.
Just listen to the audio. I know a lot of lectures have vital visual components, but if you can avoid looking at a screen completely that's a big win for eye comfort.
