Warning: PCs Harm Your Vision & Eyes! But You Can… Natural Myopia Correction Does The Trick
Do you work long hours glued to the screen? Well, then you experienced the strain that puts on your eyes, didn’t you… Look, there is a solution, so that you can work all day long productively in front of the computer, yet still enjoy a life without headaches, eye pain, or other eye problems.
Most people use the computer, only the amount of hours varies. By now, many have to spend all day starring at the box at their workplace. The problem is, that too many hours of starring can harm your eyes, if you don’t take care of them.
Eyestrain is the most common complaint. Symptoms can include: red, watery or irritated eyes; tired achy, or heavy feeling eyelids; trouble focusing; eye muscle spasms; and headache. Changing the work environment, resting the eyes or wearing the proper glasses can often relieve these symptoms. We will talk about each one of these individually.
Adjusting Your Work Space
Change the boss…
na, not really. Better position the monitor slightly farther away from you than you normally hold your reading material. A viewing distance of between 20 and 28 inches is good. Make sure the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Put all material you are working with as closer to you and try to use a device that keeps it upright. This makes your eyes constantly focus and adjust- it keeps them working well, and not tighten up.
Eliminate any reflections on the screen. Also glare is not good at all, so juggle your desk that bright light is not in your visual field. Now you want it nice in bright in your environment, just not right into your eyes. So if you have lamps screaming into your eyes, either move them, or change them to lower strength.
Can you recall your parents warning you of reading with not enough light? Well, they didn’t make it up. Maybe they did, but either way it’s true. Reading and working on the PC in lack of light causes a hell lot of eyestrain, and will cause eye problems.
Making the contrast of your monitor more pleasant for the eyes and zooming in to have larger writing on the screen helps a lot. And tell anyone off who says you are getting old!
Give Your Eyes A Rest
Relax your eyes in regular intervals. Change the focal length, meaning to look at some distant object, at least 20 feet away, every 20 minutes for 20 seconds. Do that also when you are at home. Long hours stuck to any type of screen (that includes that TV) is the reason for fatigue in the eyes, eye pain and eye problems. Blinking is essential for your eye health, as it keep you eyes moist.
Most of us don’t do this when we’re focused on what we’re doing. How can you remember to blink? Put a sticky note at the top of your screen with REMEMBER TO BLINK written on it. If that doesn’t work or is too distracting, pretend your monitor is a person of the opposite sex and wink at it every so often use both eyes though.
Wearing The Proper Glasses
If you wear glasses, you may need to change lenses when using the computer. Some people don’t normally wear corrective lenses but may need them for computer work. Check out pinhole glasses to make sure you aren’t straining your eyes by wearing the wrong lenses an eye doctor will talk you into.
Your Eyes Can’t Be Healthy Enough
Keeping your eyes healthy should be as important as keeping your heart healthy. Make sure you eat plenty of vegetables that are high in beta carotene. Most yellow and orange vegetables fit into this category. Also, foods rich in lutein are good to your eye health. These include leafy greens, corn and red peppers. So, you see, a healthy diet does more than nourish your body, it nourishes your eyes as well…
