How to look after your eyes while working in front of a computer?

​

With the spread of computers we were flooded with reports of the negative impact of working with the monitor on our eyesight. We know very well that our vision is getting worse and that the defects that were identified earlier make them even worse. Nowadays, more and more computers are being replaced by telephones, but this is not good news for our eyes.

With the spread of computers we were flooded with reports of the negative impact of working with the monitor on our eyesight. We know very well that our vision is getting worse and that the defects that were identified earlier make them even worse. Nowadays, more and more computers are being replaced by telephones, but this is not good news for our eyes. What to do to prevent the negative effects of prolonged viewing?

• When working on a computer, remember to prepare your workplace accordingly. The computer screen should be in front of our eyes, slightly below its line of sight - so that we look at the monitor from above.
• Pay attention to the light - it is best if it is natural, scattered. Lamps should not be directed directly at the monitor, so that no reflections are formed.
• Ensure the room temperature (20-23°C) and air humidity (approx. 50%).
• It is worth taking short breaks every 20 minutes, looking at the distance for a few dozen seconds, blink intensely or do a fast eyeball gymnastics (look away for a moment, then sideways, and finally look at the eights).
• If you wear glasses, choose glasses with anti-reflective coatings - they eliminate reflections, improve contrast and visual acuity.
• If you wear lenses, choose those hydrogel-silicone lenses that hydrate your eyes
• If you feel uncomfortable because of burning eyes, apply moisturizing drops.
• A diet rich in vitamins A, C and E as well as selenium, zinc and magnesium is important for healthy eyes. You can choose the dietary supplements available in pharmacies to support your eyesight.
• Don't forget to have your eyes tested every year.

By following the above advice, you will take care of your eyes while working at the computer and prevent deterioration of sight, dry eyes and headaches.
