The European Football Championship, commonly known as the Euro, is a major tournament for national teams organized by the European Football Confederation. It takes place every four years and has captured the attention of people all over the world, who spend hours in front of screens watching the games.
Unfortunately, Israel did not qualify for Euro 2024, but the competition is still expected to draw record ratings and generate significant interest. As more and more people turn to screens to watch the matches, companies are capitalizing on this trend by selling larger and larger screens for viewers to enjoy the matches.
When watching any content on screens, it is important to consider the recommended viewing distance. While there are no strict medical guidelines, a common recommendation is to sit at least three meters away from the TV screen. This can be calculated by multiplying the screen’s area in square centimeters by two.
It is also advised to take breaks during extended periods of screen time and to keep a light on in the room to reduce eye strain. Contrary to popular belief that viewing screens up close causes short-sightedness, experts suggest that higher resolution screens actually pose less risk to vision.
To combat eye fatigue and potential vision issues, it is recommended to take breaks and refocus your vision by looking at a distant horizon for a few minutes. By implementing these practices, viewers can enjoy their screen time without putting unnecessary strain on their eyes.
