Say goodbye to eye strain: 5 simple steps for comfortable and healthy vision, details inside
Protect your eyes from daily strain with these 5 simple steps to reduce eye fatigue and maintain good eye health.
We’re spending a lot of time on our screens during the day. While we are using screens for work, social media, and wallow-watching, our eyes are taking the majority of the strain. Unsurprisingly, we may notice symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision. However, properly managing the strain on our eyes is important to our overall health and productivity.
So, what can we do about this? Below are 5 simple steps to help you take efforts to reduce eye strain and help protect your eyes:
1. Take breaks: Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen and focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It’s like a mini-getaway for your eyes.
2. Adjust screen settings: Ensure the brightness and contrast aren’t too harsh – try adjusting the color temperature to reduce the blue light being emitted from your screen – it’s like putting a warm filter on your screen!
3. Blink with intention: Blinking keeps your eyes nice and moist, so make the effort to blink and blink often, especially while working on a computer screen or reading. It’s a super easy behaviour to pick up!
4. Light it right: Where you position your screen or reading materials matters. You want to orient them in a relative spot of soft or subdued lighting. Stay away from overhead fluorescent lights or glare! You want to give your eyes a nice tender hug, and your eyes will appreciate it.
5. Get your eyes examined: Regular eye examinations can detect a potential problem before it evolves into more serious problem, so remember to keep up on regular check-ups with your eye doc.
By making these simple changes in your daily routine, you can say goodbye to eye strain, and say hello to healthy, happy eyes for many more years.
