While these devices have undoubtedly enhanced our lives, they also bring the challenge of potential eye strain and discomfort. As your trusted opticians, we want to ensure you take good care of your precious eyes when using computers.

 

Here are some essential tips to maintain healthy vision:

 

  1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Give your eyes regular breaks! For every 20 minutes spent looking at the computer screen, take a 20-second break and focus on something at least 20 feet away. This simple practice helps reduce eye strain and allows your eyes to relax.

 

  1. Ideal Lighting: Avoid glare and reflections on your screen by adjusting the lighting in your workspace. Keep the ambient lighting at a comfortable level and avoid placing the screen in front of bright windows.

 

  1. Blink Frequently: Staring at a computer screen can reduce blinking, leading to dry eyes and discomfort. Remember to blink consciously and regularly to keep your eyes moist and comfortable.
