How office workers can protect their eyes?

Nowadays, office workers basically face computers every day, and the time they spend staring at the screen far exceeds the load that their eyes can bear. So how should office workers protect their eyes from harm? The editor below recommends some tips to you.

1. Blink frequently 

When many people use computers, their eyes blink less frequently than usual. Reducing the number of blinks will reduce the lubrication effect of tears on the eyeballs, causing frequent dryness and discomfort. If you must use a computer for long periods of time, consider eye drops.

2. Let your eyes rest. 

Every 40-50 minutes of operating the computer, you should rest for 10-15 minutes. The younger you are, the more likely you are to rest and recover. Every 10 minutes, look away from the screen and spend 10 seconds looking at something far away or looking up. When resting, you can turn your eyes up, down, left, and right, lie on your back with your eyes closed, or look far away to avoid using your eyes at close range. You can apply moderate heat to your eyes 2-3 times a day.

3. Pay attention to the position of the light source.

Where the computer screen is placed, the light source should be located on the side. And the brightness of the surrounding environment should not exceed the brightness of the screen. Use an adjustable light source so that the light does not shine directly into your eyes or cause reflection on the screen. Screen reflections can cause eye discomfort. The reflection comes from light from above, including fluorescent lights or sunlight. Turn off some or all overhead light sources to reduce reflections. Tilt your computer screen slightly downward, use an anti-reflective screen, and close curtains to reduce reflections.

4. Wear blue light block glasses

It is recommended that office workers wear blue light block glasses, because blue light glasses can effectively isolate computer blue light and protect eye health.

5. Incorrect sitting posture may affect vision health

Sitting posture in front of the computer is particularly important for eye health. Many optometry experts have done a lot of research on what kind of sitting posture can protect eye health. They concluded that it is best to look down at the computer screen when facing the computer. Maintaining this sitting posture can protect eye health. After many studies, it has been shown that you should try to be about 50-70 centimeters away from the computer screen. At the same time, you should adjust the seat height so that your line of sight can be maintained at an angle of about 30 degrees downward to look at the computer screen. When maintained in such a sitting position, this viewing angle can minimize the area of the eyeball surface exposed to the air and minimize water evaporation, thereby alleviating the symptoms of dry eyes and helping to reduce the direct radiation of the computer to the eyes. protect eyes

6. Light that is too strong or too dark will cause your eyes to tire easily.

Adjust the distance between the screen and the body and use a high-resolution computer screen. The appropriate distance between the screen and the eyes is approximately equal to the length of a straight arm. If your body leans forward when reading smaller fonts, you can enlarge the font or page. It is very necessary to adjust the computer to settings that protect your eyes. Light that is too strong or too dark will cause your eyes to tire easily.
