How to Take Care of your eyes while using Pc or Laptop Its so hard to look away. But you really should, at least occasionally. And remind yourself to blink. Do you look like this right now? If you dont, the Vision Council wants you to know that youre doing it wrong. while youre doing all of your little computing work could be the reason youre experiencing eye strain, neck and shoulder pain, dry eyes, or blurred vision. Experts recommend some easy ways to protect your eyes . 1. Reduce glare by cleaning your screen and making sure its the most brightly glowing thing in the room. Try not to use your smartphone in direct sunlight. Also, grey backgrounds are easier on your eyes than white. 2. Sit an arms length away from your computer screen. They recommend the high-five test: if you cant properly high-five your computer screen (full arm extension is key, people!), youre sitting too close. The screen shouldnt be tilted, and should be positioned right below eye level. 3. Remind yourself to blink. Screens have a way of making you forget to do that. 4. Take what they call a 20-20-20 break: Every 20 minutes, give yourself 20 seconds to check out whats going on 20 feet away from you. This changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes. 5. Hot water fomentation When you get home, heat up some water, dip a clean cloth in it and use it to dab your eyelids. This frees up a lot of tension in the eyes. In fact, if you have a hot water dispenser at work, this can be done a few times a day when you are taking breaks. 6. Consider buying a pair of glasses made specifically for computer use. If you think you can pull them off. Circulate among all if you care. They say that your eyes are mirrors of your soul, so do take care of them, they are priceless
