Between smart phones, tablets and laptops, we all spend so much time on screens each day. Which is why the eighth prize in our 2016 #12DaysofSheSpeaks giveaways is so perfect!
It's two pairs of Phonetic Computer Eyewear - one for you and one for a friend (you each get to choose the pairs!). These glasses, which in both prescription and non-prescription, help prevent digital eye strain, but are stylish enough to wear all day long.
Normal life for most people these days involves a large amount of time staring at a screen. In fact, a study from Common Sense Media came out just last week that found that parents of American teens and tweens average more than nine hours of screen time every day. It's likely not much different for others. After a while, this starts to catch up with you in the form of headaches, tired eyes. neck pain, dry eyes, and blurred or double vision.
Phonetic Computer Eyewear is here to rescue us from eye strain. Phonetic Eyewear’s lenses reflect and absorb some of that annoying blue light put out by your computer or other device. They have many different styles and just the right amount of trend.

Depending on the day, up to 8 hours of screen time can happen.
I do data entry at my job, so from 8 to 5 I am staring at a computer screen...plus whatever downtime I may spend after that...so many hours spent staring at a screen! these would be wonderful.
Way too much.... upwards of 10 hours
Probably 8-10 hours are spent in front of a screen. Way too long, but my work requires it. Would love to win this because my eyes certainly feel the strain.
At least 8 hours daily, probably more some days. These would be awesome to win.
Probably about 6 or 7 hours a day at work then about an hour at home on my phone until my eyes can't handle it anymore
i'm on the computer at least 8 hrs a day and that doesn't count my time spent staring at my phone.
In my job as computer lab manager/school librarian, I literally spend all day looking at screens! My eyes need help!
Maybe 11 hours between work and my phone, and sometimes 18 hours if I'm working overtime, or my child has a lot of homework!
9 hours at work and approx 1-2 hrs at home on my laptop = too much :)
I currently work at a call center. My job is to read a script from a computer screen for each call and I probably average 50-70 calls a shift. I work a total of 25 hours a week. I would say I really need these!!
I spend 8 hours on the computer for work and then another hour or so at night checking my phone. My contacts are killing me!! I have to wear readers to read the fine print. There seems to be a lot more fine print out there lately. I would love to win a cool pair of glasses for me and one for a friend.
I look at screens all day. If I'm not on my desktop computer, I'm on my IPad or smart phone. I'd safely say, about 5 hours a day.
At least a good 6 to 8 hours per day!
12-16 hours! Way too much!
