Fight for Sight advises looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds, every 20 minutes you look at a screen.
Out of 2,000 people, half used screens more since Covid struck and a third (38%) of those believed their eyesight had worsened, a survey suggested.
Opticians remain open for those who need them, the charity said.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a remarkable Redditch runner - who died following a battle with cancer. Marathon runner Lizzie Tovey, aged 47, continued to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support whilst her health deteriorated last year. Lizzie was diagnosed with an aggressive inflammatory triple negative breast cancer in February. In April, doctors discovered the cancer had spread to Lizzie’s spine, sternum and lymphnodes in her throat, under her arms and in her neck and chest. Lizzie’s friend Sonia Tudor became her practical and emotional support buddy through Macmillan following her diagnosis. Sonia says she was with Lizzie and her husband Mark when she died on Boxing Day.
