There are many ways to protect your eyes from a computer screen. This post is only just a reminder for everyone using a personal or desktop computer.
Ways to Protect your Eyes from Computer Screen
Spend less time in front of a computer as possible.
If your job requires encoding or research, make sure to have at least 5-minute rest for every hour of work. Sometimes, you need to spend more time in front of your desktop to meet a deadline, if so, make sure to look away from the computer screen every 30 minutes and stare at something far from you for about 15 seconds. This way, you can relax your eyes and prevent them from focusing on nearby objects for too long. Have a 30-minute break interval after 2 hours of non-stop playing If you are a gamer.
Install Anti-Radiation or Anti-Glare screen protector to your computer screen.
This special polymer coating minimizes the emission of harmful rays which could damage your eyes in the long run.
Use Anti-Radiation/Glare Eyeglasses.
This is a substitute for an anti-glare screen protector. This is really effective especially if you are using prescription eyeglasses.
Some computer screens have blue light filters, Turn ON this feature.
Blue light filter reduces the amount of blue light. Blue light minimizes the production of melatonin(sleep-inducing hormone). Simply put, blue light is responsible for eye strain. The less of it means the more you sleep better.
Control your gadget and internet related addiction.
Any guidance or recommendations on how to protect your eyes from the computer screen would tend to become useless if a person is attached to a particular addiction. Whether it is a gaming or online related addition, such addiction must be curtailed at soon as possible.
Love your eyes and don’t abuse them. Your eyes might suffer impairment because you prefer productivity and entertainment over your health.
