Health Tips to take care your Eyesight
Easy Steps to relax your eyes while using computer
We all know that we need to relax our eyes while
working on the computer but we either just don't care or we just don't know how
to take care of our eyes.
We can learn to relax our eyes while sitting on the
computer using these tips:
- Position your computer screen at least 4-8 inches lower than your straight-ahead line of vision.
- Use an anti-glare screen on your computer. This screen protects your eyes from the radiations coming out of the computer or laptop screen.
- Blink your eyes every second. Blinking is the best exercise for our eyes. It relaxes them by providing moisture to the eyes. So blink as often as possible to prevent your eyes from drying out.
- Close your eyes & roll your eyes to relax eye muscles and deep breath for 1 minute every hour if possible.
- Wash your eyes with cool water at least at the beginning and end of each day as part of your daily routine.
- After every 2 minutes, relax your eyes by looking away from the computer. Just look as far away as possible for 4-5 seconds and then get back to work.
- Take a 5 minute break every hour
- Get up from the chair, have a cookie or a glass of water. Stretch a little. Just get away from the computer. It will not only give your eyes a refreshing break but also give your body and mind a break.
- Keep cucumber slices in refrigerator and put them on your eyes for few minutes to release eye tension as needed.
- Close your eyes every 20 minutes. Relax your eyes after every 20 minutes by closing them. Rub your palms vigorously and place them lightly on your eye lids for about 30 seconds. Do this thrice.
- Keep your eyes shut throughout these 2-3 minutes. This exercise will give your eyes the much needed break from the brightness of the computer and your vision will be much clearer.
- Follow rule - 20-20-20=20/20. Looking 20 ft away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes of computer use for 20/20 vision.
