👁️📺 Time for a TV Tweak? It Might Just Save Your Eyes! 📺👁️
Who knew binge-watching could be a bit too close for comfort? 👀 Experts warn that sitting too close to your TV might cause headaches and tired eyes. So, how far should we be? Let’s break it down:
✅ 32-inch TV: Sit about 7 feet (around 2 metres) away.
✅ 40-43 inch TV: Aim for 8 feet (about 2.5 metres).
✅ 48-50 inch TV: You’re looking at 9-10 feet (2.7 – 3 metres).
✅ 55-inch TV: Aim for 11-12 feet (3.4 – 3.7 metres).
✅ 65-inch TV: Settle in at 13 feet (4 metres).
Remember, measuring from the back of your chair is key. And if you’re not sure about your TV size, just measure diagonally across the screen (excluding bezels).
A simple fix could mean less squinting and more eye comfort. If you’re still facing eye discomfort, it might be worth checking in with your GP or optician, especially if symptoms include severe pain, light sensitivity, or vision changes.
For urgent eye issues, NHS 111 is your friend—but for anything severe (like sudden eye pain or vision loss), head straight to A&E.
A bit of distance can make all the difference in your viewing experience and eye health. So, before the next episode auto-plays, give your TV set-up a quick check-up! 😉🛋️
