Internet is like a vast ocean and there is so much that we can see with just a click of the button. As a result, we seem to be spending more and more time in front of the computer. But this convenience comes at price. Millions of people are blaming the time spent in front of the computer for dry, irritated eyes and computer vision syndrome (CVS). Even children are affected by this problem. Though many of us do not develop serious vision problems, the minor problems too can prove to be a nuisance.
So, what is the solution?
Blink your eyes!!
Yes, just blinking your eyes frequently can help ease the irritation. If we do not blink often enough, we expose our eyes more to dryness as the fluid in the eye would evaporate. Blinking lubricates the film that lies over the cornea.
Here are some easy tips to keep your eyes healthy:
· Signs:
1. Tiredness
2. Fatigue
3. Eye irritation
4. Light sensitivity
5. Tearing
6. Itching.
· Protection :
1. Use eyedrops to ease burning and redness.
2. Take frequent breaks from your screen.
3. Don't forget to blink.
· Glasses
1. Ask your eye doctor about eyeglasses made for computer use.
2. Get an anti-reflective coating on your regular glasses to cut glare from bright office light.
· Workspace issues:
1. Cover up air vents that may be drying your eyes.
2. Keep your screen at arm's length
3. Tilt the monitor down to reduce glare.
Hey, wait!!
