We’ve all heard it from our parents at some point, to stop staring at a screen because it will harm our eyesight. However, what’s the scientific data behind this, and most importantly, if it is true, what can you do to prevent any damage from happening?

Dr. Tom Czyz and Dr. Amy Czyz, Optometrists and Co-Founders of Intent Brands, join Gary for this episode of Power Your Performance to discuss the truths and myths of the effects gaming and excessive screen time have on our eyesight. They also talk about their history in Optometry, and why they become so passionate about helping esports and gaming enthusiasts perform at the top level.

Intent Brands offers drinks that keep you in sync by helping you chill, dream, and provide a boost for focus (with no caffeine), and this is important for your vision because the more tired you are, staring at a screen, the faster your eyes deteriorate. They also discuss other factors that help with the decline of eyesight and what you can do to prevent those, in addition to different exercises you can do that can have a significant impact on your eyesight. Plus they also talk about why it may not be too late to make a big difference in what’s been caused by so much screen time!
