Reduce The Risk Of Screen Time

 

Most of us are still spending way more time than we should in front of a computer screen. 💻

Here are some tips for making that unavoidable screen time less harmful:

BLINK YOUR EYES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE 👀

Blinking helps tears cover the surface of your eyes. The lacrimal glands secrete tears to keep the surface of the eye moist, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the eye.

TAKE BREAKS ⌚

Take a break every 1-2 hours and let your eyes be away from the computer for 10-15 minutes. Work continuously for up to 1 hour, preferably away from the computer screen, staring at a distant target for more than 10 seconds.

MASSAGE 👐

After looking at the screen for a long time, close your eyes and massage around the eye socket with your hands. This will increase blood circulation around the eyes.

ADJUST THE HEIGHT & WORKING DISTANCE FROM THE SCREEN 🖥

Keeping a distance of 50-65 cm between your seat and a computer screen, with the center of the screen about 20 degrees below eye level. This will relax the neck muscles and minimize the area of the eyeball's surface exposed to air, which can reduce eye strain.
