Be it office or at home, computer always has an important place in our daily lives. But there are frequent complaints of eye problems among us as evidently sitting for long hours at the computer desk leaves harmful affects on our eyes.
Here’s a guide on how you can take care of your precious eyes.
1. Keep them lubricated: Professionals these days work in an air-conditioned environment, which contributes to dryness in eyes. Also, blinking is reduced while working on the computer. Hence, it is important to soothe your eyes with a lubricating eye drop every three to four hours.
2. Take a walk: The computer has a magnetic field around it, which can cause mild headaches on hours of continuous usage. One must move out of the range of the computer every one-and-a-half to two hours, for a short while.
3. Proper Angling: The angle of the screen, brightness and contrast must be such that your eyes don’t get strained. You must also ensure that your posture is proper — your back straight.
4. Keep lights on: Do not work on a computer in a dark room. The flickering of light on the computer screen causes added strain and fatigue.
5. Make it large: Keep the size of the icons on the screen, and that of the font of your documents, a size larger than what you can read/see easily. A larger font strains the eye much lesser than a tiny one.
