From CNET: Apple released iOS 17 in September with new features and improvements, like StandBy mode and upgrades to autocorrect. But there's also a feature in the operating system that can help you take better care of your eyes. It's called Screen Distance.
The feature warns you when you're holding your iPhone or iPad too close to your face, sort of like having a parent tell you to sit farther back from the television or computer screen.

Thankfully, this new iOS 17 feature aims to help you reduce eyestrain, and according to Apple, it could even lower the risk of myopia, or nearsightedness.
