Do you know what you can do to prevent your eyes from being negatively affected if you work at a computer all day? When you work for a long time looking at a computer, you may experience eye strain, redness, dryness, occasional double vision, tension, and eye pain. At the same time, problems such as headaches, itching, and difficulty focusing can also occur. People who work at a computer blink less often than normal, which causes dryness and redness in the eyes. Try to blink frequently and remind yourself to do so.
Rest Your Eyes Frequently
Occasionally, take your eyes off the computer and look at a forest or tree image if available. If you can't find anything, look into the distance or at other things. Rest your eyes frequently. Take breaks. Your computer screen should be at least 45 cm away from you. If small print causes reading problems, increase your font size. Make sure your computer screen is at eye level. It is also beneficial for it to be below eye level. Remember that a screen placed higher will cause dryness in your eyes. Dust accumulation on the screen can also lead to glare and poor contrast. Using a screen filter can be another solution.
