Does Subvocalization Slow Down Reading?
You read silently, but the words still seem to have a voice. Sometimes that voice moves lightly with the sentence. At other times, every word feels as though it must be pronounced before you can continue. Speed-reading advice often identifies this inner voice as the main obstacle to faster reading.

Do Blue-Light Glasses Actually Help Eye Strain?
Blue-light glasses offer an appealing solution to screen fatigue: put on one pair of lenses, block the troublesome light, and make hours at a computer easier on your eyes.

You sit down to read a report, textbook, or article and immediately feel behind. The pages move slowly, your attention slips, and you keep returning to sentences you have already seen.

You close your laptop, look across the room, and the details do not immediately snap into focus. Or the words on your screen begin to look soft even though they were perfectly clear an hour earlier. The blur is real. But its most frightening explanation is not automatically the correct one. Blurry vision after screen…
