Whether you're swiping, clicking, watching or typing: we are spending most of our waking hours looking at screens. If there ever was any doubt about it, life during lockdown has made it crystal clear (you don't even need your contact lenses to see it).
Vision Direct recently commissioned a research study in the UK and US to discover just how much of our life is spent on screens. The results highlight how much digital devices play a major role in modern life. Our survey involving 2,000 British adults revealed that the respondents spend 4,866 hours a year staring at screens, whether they're phones, laptops, TVs, gaming devices or e-readers. That means the average adult spends an astonishing 34 years staring at screens - that's a significant portion of our lifetimes.
