Adjust the position of the screen
Sit directly in front of the monitor, look just above it. This will have a positive effect not only on your eyes, but also on your posture and the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
Reduce contrast
It is better to work at a computer in sufficient light. If there is a window near your work area, position yourself so that it is on your left. The difference in brightness between the screen and the area behind it should be minimal, then you don’t have to strain your eyes, which means that discomfort will go away.
Blink more often
Blinking is a natural process in which the tear film is renewed, keeping the eyes clean and hydrated. Unfortunately, when working at a computer, we blink up to 5 times less often or do not completely close our eyelids. Our task is to make this process more regular. This means that from time to time you just need to force yourself to blink, thus moisturizing your eyes.
Pause
Get used to tearing yourself away from the screen for 20 seconds and looking into the distance every 20 minutes; the likelihood of vision problems will be significantly reduced. Also, do not neglect eye exercises. It is especially useful to look into the distance: look out the window more often, move your gaze from object to object that are located at different distances from you and from each other.
Drink more water
The more water you drink, the better your hair, skin and eyes feel. In dry, conditioned air conditions in most office spaces, you should drink at least 2 liters of fluid. A tip for coffee lovers is to increase the amount of water consumed to 3 liters.
Careful selection of lenses for work behind the monitor
If you wear lenses, spend 6-8 hours a day at the computer, and by the end of the day your eyes get tired and feel discomfort, then you shouldn’t refuse contact vision correction. Methods such as switching to glasses and frequent use of moisturizing drops will not solve dry eye problems. When working at a computer, you can enjoy all the benefits of contact lenses if you choose them correctly.
