Digital screens are pervasive at work and in homes and schools stores. The American Optometric Association says an estimated 104 million Americans of working age spend more than seven hours a day in front of screens. All that screen time can take a toll. Too much exposure to screens can lead to dry eyes, blurry vision, headaches and watery eyes. Experts say taking frequent breaks to look in the distance can help alleviate symptoms. Using larger monitors and fonts, and adjusting screen position also can help.

Surgeons in New York have performed the world's first transplant of an entire human eye, an extraordinary addition to a face transplant. It's far too soon to know if it will offer any vision. But doctors at NYU Langone Health say Aaron James is recovering well from the dual transplants last May, and the eye looks remarkably healthy. The Hot Springs, Arkansas, man lost much of his face, one eye and an arm in an accident with high-voltage power lines. Doctors hoped the eye experiment would yield better cosmetic results for his face transplant.

A new study shows a promising procedure to treat severe injuries in one eye by using stem cells from the other. Results of the early-stage research were published Friday in the journal Science Advances. Researchers take a small biopsy from the healthy eye, grow and expand the stem cells in a lab and then transplant them into the injured eye. Four patients in the study got the transplants. The first person to undergo the procedure was a man from Alabama who suffered a chemical burn that left him blind, unable to tolerate light and gave him frequent headaches. He's now able to see well enough to drive.
Apple has unveiled a long-rumored headset that will place its users between the virtual and real world, while also testing the technology trendsetter's ability to popularize new-fangled devices after others failed to capture the public's imagination. After years of speculation, Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday hailed the arrival of the sleek goggles — dubbed "Vision Pro" — at the the company's annual developers conference held on a park-like campus in Cupertino that Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs helped design. The Vision Pro will sell for $3,500 when it comes out early next year, a price likely to limit its appeal.
