Computer Eye Strain

Take care of those baby blues!

 

 

Computer Eye StrainIt's a common image: rubbing your eyes after a session at the computer. Sitting in front of the monitor is very irritating for your eyes, so try sit at least and arm’s length away from your screen. Also, blink more often — you blink about five times less than usual when you are at the computer, causing the tears that coat the eyes to evaporate, resulting in dry, irritated eyes. It also helps to get up occasionally and walk around for a few minutes.

 

Adjust the brightness of your monitor. Your computer screen shouldn't shine like a light source. You can adjust the brightness of your monitor to a little bit below default. Remember to keep the contrast high; otherwise it will be even more difficult for your eyes to stay focused

 

To keep your brain active and your eyes in optimum condition, try Eye Q — it’s a supplement that’s rich in marine fish oil and evening primrose oil. Eye Q is available in capsule or liquid form. Check with your pharmacist for this and other recommendations.
