bildskärmsnära

Bildskärmsnära is a Swedish term that translates to "screen-close" or "close to the screen." It refers to a situation or activity where an individual is positioned in very close proximity to a display screen, such as a computer monitor, television, or smartphone. This can encompass a range of contexts, from prolonged computer work and gaming to reading on a tablet or watching a movie on a large TV from a short distance.

The term often carries connotations of potential negative effects associated with such close proximity. These can include eye strain, headaches, and dry eyes due to reduced blinking and prolonged visual focus at a short distance. In some discussions, it might also touch upon postural issues or the general health implications of sedentary behavior often associated with screen-intensive activities.

While not a formal medical diagnosis, "bildskärmsnära" is used colloquially to describe the physical arrangement and potential consequences of being very close to a screen for extended periods. It serves as a reminder for individuals to consider their viewing distances and take breaks to mitigate potential discomfort or strain.
