You Can Deal With Stress

If you are someone that spends a lot of time in front of a computer screen for work or for pleasure, you may experience some strain on your eyes. There are a few things that you can do to ease this strain and save your eyes some pain. Blinking often can help keep your eyes from drying out. Blinking often can bathe your eyes in tears which are naturally therapeutic for the eyes. Follow a 20/20/20 rule when working with digital devices. This means that every 20 minutes you should spend 20 seconds look at something 20 feet away. This will allow the your eyes to rest. Ensure that you have proper lighting when working. If you are working with poor lighting it can cause eye strain. Keep a bright light overhead to a minimum and position it to shine on your desk not on you. Position your monitor in a way that reduces reflections and glare from windows and overhead lights. Optimally your computer screen should be about 4 to 5 inches below eye level and about 20 to 28 inches from the eyes. Try rearranging your workspace to accommodate your eyes you will feel a difference in how your eyes feel.
