Screen time definitely strains your eyes. But you cannot avoid that.
Close your eyes for 20 seconds after every 20 minutes of screen time. This will give you some relaxation.
Use refresh tears or any other lubricating eye drops 2-4 times.
Take good nutritious diet , proper sleep and keep yourself well hydrated.
Your number should be stable by 25 yrs of age. In some people with pathological myopia the number increases beyond 25 yrs of age.
