Spend a lot of time on the computer? In case you do, you probably know the feeling of worn out eyes... But there is no need to give up, you CAN use the computer all day, day in day out, but still enjoy relaxed eyes. The solution comes in a few forms. We all use computers, and some of us more than others. For some, it's their job and they spend at least 8 hours in front of a monitor. But, continued PC use can damage your eyesight if you don't take precautions against it. Eyestrain is the most common complaint. Symptoms can include: red, watery or irritated eyes; tired achy, or heavy feeling eyelids; trouble focusing; eye muscle spasms; and headache. Changing the work environment, resting the eyes or wearing the proper glasses can often relieve these symptoms. We will talk about each one of these individually. Adjusting Your Work Space Change the boss... :) na, not really. Better position the monitor slightly farther away from you than you normally hold your reading material. A viewing distance of between 20 and 28 inches is good. Make sure the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Put all material you are working with as closer to you and try to use a device that keeps it upright. This makes your eyes constantly focus and adjust- it keeps them working well, and not tighten up. Get rid of any light reflecting of your monitor. That's bad news, so if you have to, change to position of your desk around, until there is no bright light directly falling into your eyes. You do want as much daylight and bright light in the room as possible, but not directly in your face. If desk or ceiling lamps are too strong, get a weaker bulb. Can you recall your parents warning you of reading with not enough light? Well, they didn't make it up. Maybe they did, but either way it's true. Reading and working on the PC in lack of light causes a hell lot of eyestrain, and will cause eye problems. Making the contrast of your monitor more pleasant for the eyes and zooming in to have larger writing on the screen helps a lot. And tell anyone off who says you are getting old! Give Your Eyes A Rest Relax your eyes in regular intervals. Change the focal length, meaning to look at some distant object, at least 20 feet away, every 20 minutes for 20 seconds. Do that also when you are at home. Long hours stuck to any type of screen (that includes that TV) is the reason for fatigue in the eyes, eye pain and eye problems. Blinking is essential for your eye health, as it keep you eyes moist. We tend to put blinking low on our priority list when working highly focused on something, so we have to find a way to keep doing it... I use pencil and paper instead of my brain, I find that easier... So I have a sticky note on my computer saying REMEMBER TO BLINK, and that does the trick. I visualize this sticky note as my husband and "wink" to him every once in a while with my eyes. You could try that. Using The Right Kind Of Glasses In case you need to use eyeglasses or contact lenses, make sure it's the right type for the distance you work with the computer. If you don't need glasses, but feel a lot of strain while working on the computer, give pinhole glasses a try, or simply learn natural ways to relax your eyes. Your Eyes Can't Be Healthy Enough Your eye health should be as close to your heart as the health of your heart. Eating loads of vegies with a lot of beta carotene is always a good idea. These are the yellow and orange type of vegies. Lutein is another important part of keeping you eyes in their best shape. Lutein can be found in green leafy vegetables, red pepper and corn. And you thought a vegie rich diet was only good for your body... DISCLAIMER: This article is provided as information only and is not to be taken as financial advice.
