Nearly 88 percent of all computer users will develop computer vision syndrome, according to a recent study conducted by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.
You stare at the computer all day and after a while your eyes feel tired and dry. Your vision gets blurry and sometimes you get a headache.
If these symptoms sound familiar, you may have computer vision syndrome.
Our eyes are not made to look at a screen, 20-24 inches away from us, eight hours a day. It brings out the worst in your eyes.
First thing is to make sure you have the right prescription and lens designed for computer use.
Some companies have now with progressive lenses where the top is set for that computer, and the bottom for reading, these are called office glasses.
Contact wearers can switch to new generation silicone hydrogel lenses that do not compete with the eye for tears.
And sometimes, changing the cleaning solution for your contacts can be the answer.
Other things you can do is take vision breaks, make sure your drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, and there are a whole host of eyedrops that help your body make more tears so your eyes don't dry out. there are also tiny plugs that you put in the bottom of your eye which will save your tears and prevent them from flowing out so that your eye stays moisturized.
Make sure your computer is at the right level. The top of the screen should be at eye level. Turn the screen off and check to make sure there is no glare bouncing off from another light source – adjust the screen accordingly.
