Protect eyes from computer monitor
Most jobs nowadays involve some
degree of computer usage, which can result eye problem. In order to avoid this,
you'll have to properly protect your eyes following the steps mentioned below.
Adjust your screen lighting
Your eyes will often tell you
if your screen isn't lighted properly. If your eyes are feeling strained, try
adjusting your brightness settings in relation to your work environment.
Sit far enough away from the screen
Locate the computer screen 4 or
5 inches below your eye level. Ideally, you should look down at the computer
screen at about a 15 to 20 degree angle. This ensures that more of your eyeball
is covered by your eyelid, keeping your eyes moisturized and healthy.
Blink often
We naturally blink about 20
times every minute, but when focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as
half. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working
on the computer. Since your body won't blink as much naturally, you'll have to
be conscious of this and force yourself to blink.
20-20-20 break
Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away
from the screen for 20 seconds. This allows you to blink naturally and
re-moisturize your eyes.
Take regular breaks
In every 3 hours take a break
of at least 15 minutes.
