Staring at a computer screen for a long time is not good for your eyes. Effect - a feeling of sand under the eyelids, dry, tired eyes. How to work at the computer to avoid this?

In front of the monitor, forget about blinking. As a result, the eyeball is not sufficiently moistened. If you work in an air-conditioned room, the mucosa lining your eyelids becomes dry.

Eyes pinch, sting, they are red. In addition, staring at the screen forces the eyes to work unnaturally. Consequences - blurry vision, double vision, tearing or dry eye syndrome, vision defects.

These effects can be avoided by taking care of occupational hygiene.

  • Correctly position the monitor - it should be 50 cm from the face. Its top edge is to be slightly below the line of sight. The screen must not stand in front of the window, so as not to reflect the sunlight. It's best to place it sideways to the window.
  • Don't forget to blink. Take breaks from time to time - look closer and further, preferably at the greenery outside the window. Roll the eyes of the figure eight or cover them with your hands folded into boats and look into the darkness.
  • Take care of good hydration. When the eyes are dry, save yourself with drops, the so-called artificial tears. They will bring a pga by immediately moisturizing the eyeball.
  • Take breaks. When you work at the computer, you are en titled to a 5-minute break per hour.
