If you’re reading or on the computer for long periods, give your eyes a break every 45 minutes. Keep your eyes open and look into the distance for a minute. This gives them a break and will help stop headaches, sore and itchy eyes, and blurred vision.
2. DIET:
Eat nutritious, vitamin and antioxidant-filled snacks such as apricots, strawberries, carrots, pumpkin seeds, almonds, peanuts and oranges. Vitamin supplements such as A, C, E, zinc and selenium all have positive benefits for healthy vision.
3. SMOKING:
Quit. It can lead to blindness.
4. EXERCISE:
Physical activity can help your eyes by strengthening blood vessels and boosting healthy circulation.
5. CORRECT LIGHTING:
Too often people work in lighting that is too bright or not bright enough, which can lead to squinting and eyestrain. Have the light source coming from behind you, not in front of you – normal lights above you are fine; you just don’t want to have a bright lamp right in front of you, and instead have it come over your shoulder. Essentially, if you’re squinting, the light is too bright, not bright enough, or in the wrong position.
6. COMPUTERS:
Check the level of brightness on your computer. If you’re squinting, it’s usually because the light is too bright on your computer, so aim to turn down the light on the monitor.
7. SUNGLASSES:
Your eyes are one of the most delicate parts of the body that are exposed to the environment. Look for polarised sunglasses as they cut down glare and reflections from shiny objects.
