On International Tea Day, the humble chai break gets its moment — and it turns out this small, unhurried pause from screens may be doing more for your eyesight than any wellness product you have ever bought.
We live in what Dr. Himanshu Mehta, senior ophthalmologist at ASG The Vission Eye Center, calls a phygital world, where the physical and digital have become so tangled that stepping away takes a conscious effort. "It is the simple pleasures that help us step away from screens and reconnect with people and nature," he says. "The ubiquitous chai break is a perfect example of engaging with people while also giving a break to our eyes."
