 | Wellness Interaction: Easing
Eyestrain |
Eyestrain, characterized by
a feeling of "tiredness" in the eyes, eye pain, blurred vision, difficulty
focusing, or headache, is common after visually demanding tasks, such as computer work,
reading, or needlework. Resting the eyes for ten minutes or so by cupping your hands
lightly over your eyes to block out light can provide some relief. Of course, if you have
prolonged eye discomfort or a noticeable change in your vision, you should consult an eye
care professional.
Here are some additional eye-saving
tips for those working long periods at a computer:
| Look away from the
computer screen into the distance for at least ten seconds every ten minutes or so.
Alternatively, lean back with your eyes closed for a few moments every once in awhile to
give your eyes a more complete break. |
| Take more
substantial breaks from computer work every two hours to give your eyes a chance to rest. |
| Blink frequently to
maintain proper eye moisture. |
| Position the monitor
at least an arm's length away; place the top of the screen at eye level or below so you
are looking down slightly at your work. |
| Dust the screen
often. |
| Put the keyboard
directly in front of the monitor so that your eyes won't be trying to focus on the screen
at an angle. |
| Place any reading or
reference material on a stand beside the monitor at the same level, angle, and distance as
the monitor. |
| Ensure that there
are no bright lights reflected in the screen or any intense glare (tilting the monitor
downward might reduce any glare). |
| Check that your
glasses or contacts (if you use them) are at the right correction for computer work. |
