Month End paperwork?
Appraisal reports due tomorrow?
Do you have tired eyes?
People with long hours on the computer are coming down with Computer Vision Syndrome.
Typical symptoms: Redness, burning sensation and/or irritation in the eyes;tired eyes,dry eyes.
Eye Strain, if ignored cam escalate into physical problems like persistent headaches and behavioural problems.
Here is how to sidestep this condition.
1. Take smart breaks: Rest your eyes after about 20 minutes of continuous computer work, or if eye strain is interfering with your performance.
2. Blink more often: Blink more while working as it retains the tears in your eyes and helps lubricate them continuously.
3. Ergonomics; Place the monitor at an optimum distance (24'' for most people, but experiment with different distances until you find the right distance), and slightly lower than your chest for comfortable positioning.
4. Brightness: Adjust the brightness of the screen such that it is comfortable.Avoid external bright lights focusing on the screen.
5. Shift Focus: Shift the focus of your eyes from short distance to long distance while on your Smart Breaks.
Eyes are designed to keep changing focus, so a prolonged fixed focus invariably strains the eyes.
Exercise your eyes by swivelling your eyes occasionally during smart breaks.
6. Splash cold water once in an hour.
