HEALTH: EASE EYESTRAIN

HELLO READERS!!!

EASE THE STRAIN

As you age , you lose the power to focus your eyes, a problem commonly known as eyestrain. It’s a gradual process that happens to everyone, says expert. And younger people who spend long hours in front of the computer aren’t immune warns doctor.

To ease the strain:

• Take a break

After about 45 to 60 minutes in front of the computer, you should take a rest. Relax for a few minutes and efocus you eyes on distant objects.

• Keep it bright

Hold your reading material 30 to 40 centimetres from your eyes and have enough soft lighting coming from a source behind or beside your shoulder.

• Try reading glasses

If you have good distance vision but have trouble seeing up close, reading glasses are sometimes  enough to cure eyestrain.

• Get some shut eye

Close your eyes for a few minutes to refocus and help them relax.
