• Inform the optometrist about your computer usage, buy prescription bifocal and clear lens spectacles and sunglasses from us.

Take Frequent Breaks

20/20/20 Rule

Adequate Lighting

• Adjust the lighting of your work area by turning off any extra harsh lights, or fluorescent light bulbs.

• The eyes have to work much harder to adjust and this causes over stimulation of the eyes along with the body.

• Irritation in eyes is also increased thus increasing overall fatigue. • Switch to soft and warm varieties of bulbs. • Adjust the level of lighting by using dimmer switches, which can

then be changed according to the requirement of everyone. • Use anti-reflective screen to reduce glare as glare can also be

caused by natural lighting.

Upgrading your Display

• Upgrade your old TV’s, which use cathode ray tube technology to a flat-panel liquid crystal display (LCD).

• LCD’s have anti reflective surface and are easy on the eyes.

• Select displays with Highest Resolution. The lower the Dot pitch the sharper would be the image. Selecting a dot pitch of .28 mm or smaller is optimum for your eyes.

Adjust your Monitor Setting

• Working for long hours in front of a Computer display, make sure that you maintain adequate distance from the computer screen.

• Adjust your Brightness & Contrast setting until you are completely comfortable viewing the screen.

• Any harsh light should form a 90° with your monitor to lessen the bright light hitting your eyes.

Practice Simple Exercises

• Warming eyes by Palms: Slightly arm your hands by rubbing your palms together, then place them upon your eyes

• Rolling of Eyes: Roll your eyes in a “circle” or “number eight” shape after frequent time.

• Blinking repeatedly: Blinking frequently after every 3-4 seconds is adequate as blinking is reduced by working for long hours on computer.

• Focus exercises on far off objects: Focus on an object that is 6 to 10metres away and focus on it without moving your head much for 4-6 seconds.

Increase Water & Omega Fatty Acids

• Omega Fatty Acids increase tear secretion from your eyes and help in preventing dry eyes.

• This makes the Eyes to be moisturized adequately and thus lesser strain is experienced.

• Regular intake of water also prevents Dry eyes and leads to better health overall.
