People May Blink 66 Percent Less As a Result of Screen Time Overload
Host of GeekBeat.TV, Cali Lewis and Dr. Linda Fain Hatton Talk about the Latest Contact Lens Technology Live from SXSW
The South by Southwest (SXSW) Film + Interactive Festival is a celebration of the 24/7 screen-centric world in which we live — dominated by the latest “must have” devices and apps.
The constant reliance on digital devices may cause a 66 percent reduction in blinking for avid screen viewers. A reduction in blinking can not only be uncomfortable but can put a cramp in any avid screen viewer’s style.
Cali shares results from a new survey examining our technology upgrade habits, in addition to offering her tips for navigating the emerging trends coming out of the festival. In addition, Dr. Hatton will help address the latest contact lens technologies that may result in an upgrade to the visual experience.
