Probably, each of us faced eye fatigue after a long work at the computer. Violation of "sharpness", blurred eyes, redness of the eyelids, pain, sometimes even a tear flow - all these are causes of eye fatigue. Most of these symptoms occur when you use your computer for a long time.
Computer - friend or foe
Why did the computer turn from a friend into an enemy? The answer is simple. In all matters, the “golden mean” is important, and this applies to the computer to the greatest extent. You can’t sit at a computer all day without any harm to the eyes. It would seem that one day will not change anything. So computer users reassure themselves and continue to tell themselves this day after day. But days form weeks, weeks — months, eye strain increases significantly, and reddened eyelids do not decorate. Moreover, sometimes, being interested in information, a picture or video on the Internet, we look at the monitor without blinking, which also affects vision. The mucous membrane of the eye dries up and a sensation of “sand” appears, redness of the eyelids.
Ways to reduce eye strain when working with a computer
But at this time, you just can not do without computers. In almost any type of activity, it is necessary to possess at least the slightest computer knowledge. What can we say about accountants, copywriters, programmers and other people for whom the computer is an integral part of the work. But how to reduce eye strain? We’ll deal with this issue now.
Firstly, to soften the load on vision, you should make the room even and bright lighting. Then your eyes will strain less. You should use a large chandelier that illuminates the entire room, and not a small lamp that stands on the table and illuminates only a small fraction of the room's space. You also need to adjust the location of the monitor so that it does not have any glare.
Secondly, you need to take breaks at least 10 minutes after every 45 minutes of work. Then your eyes will rest regularly. Also, various exercises for relaxation do not interfere. Look about 5 minutes into the window. Look at tree leaves or green grass. Green color helps the eyes to relax and rest. Or just look from side to side. Cover the red eyelids with a damp cloth and lie down for 15-20 minutes.
In stores, you can find specially designed screen protectors. They reduce the radiation of the monitor, and accordingly the eyes are strained less.
Having solved the problem with the situation of the workplace, it is worth addressing the issue of additional "nutrition" of the eyes. Vitamin A is most important for vision. It is responsible for the clarity and sharpness of the look. Its deficiency in the body contributes to blurred vision. When working at a computer, it is consumed twice as much as in everyday life. Redness of the eyelids is often due to a lack of this vitamin.
Vasoconstrictor drops
Seeing in the mirror bursting vessels in the eyes, many of us are faster looking for various drops and other means. Most often in such situations, people use vasoconstrictor drops. And completely in vain. Firstly, this tool can be used only on the recommendation of doctors, and secondly, they will not be of any use, and even it is possible in such a situation they will bring harm. The fact is that the use of these drops will not save you from pain in the eyes. They will not help to connect the bursted vessels. These drops will only narrow them, and quite excessively. Redness of the eyelids may even appear. After that, the eye pressure will increase, and less oxygen will enter the eyes, which is harmful to the retina. As a result, you only add eye problems to yourself. The best treatment option for bursting vessels has always been and always will be rest and good sleep.
