Thankfully and unfortunately, we spend most of our time in front of a computer. After hours of working on the computer, we switch to the phone to see what is being done by Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc., without thinking about what damage we are doing to our eyes.
Eye glare is reduced by appearing in front of devices. Every time we pulse the eyes, a teardrop-like layer forms in it that helps the eye to be protected. After a few seconds it dries and they have to be polished again to be protected. 5-7 seconds is called the normal time between them.
When we sit in front of these technological devices, the pulsation rates of the eyes are made every 12 seconds. This is what your eyes say, causing "dehydration and death of surface cells." In addition, other health problems can be caused, such as those of the glands, inflammation, etc. What can we do?
Take a break
For at least 6 times a day, press the eyes for 10 seconds. This will avoid creating glands in the eye. Try to make this a daily habit. Set the alarm on your phone until you get used to it. Also using warm compresses for at least 7 minutes a day will help you.
Use artificial tears
Just as you do with your body you need to do with your eyes when it comes to dehydration. Use artificial tears 4 times a day even if your eyes are not dry.
Consider a filter for blue light
Looking at the damage the computer causes to the eye, consider finding a pair of glasses that will filter out harmful light and allow "good light" to pass through. They will reduce reflections and fatigue. To find such lenses you can consult your eye doctor.
Be careful with the placement of the computer
The problem can sometimes be keeping your computer in the office. Try to keep the monitor below eye level. This way they will be less open and less tense. If the position is not such raise your work chair more.
