If you’re one of the many who stares at their smartphone or computer all day, you could be hurting your eyes. Doing so can put a strain on the eyes leaving them tired, dry, and blurred vision.

We’re sharing a simple routine you should incorporate into your everyday life: The 20/20/20 Rule!

Every 20 minutes, shift your eyes and look at an object about 20 feet away, and look for about 20 seconds! This gives your eyes a break. “Unfortunately we didn’t do it enough,” ER physician Dr. Travis Stork jokes since all three of the hosts wear contact lenses and/or glasses.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, we normally blink 15 times per minute. But when we look at our digital screens we only blink about a third of that! That is why our eyes get so fatigued and dry and why you should give the 20/20/20 rule a try!

Our first piece of advice when we bought our Airstream was from friends and fellow campers. They said to make sure you "keep the shiny side up." Something that struck me kind of funny, but so true :)
