With many people working on computers or laptops for hours in IT, media, and government offices, eye health is a major concern. Continuous screen exposure can cause serious eye damage. While completely avoiding screen use is impossible, there are several precautions you can take to keep your eyes healthy.
Even if you don't have glasses or specific eye problems, get regular eye check-ups. At least once a year, have your eyes examined to easily detect and address any issues.
Experts advise against working continuously on screens for 8-9 hours a day. Take regular breaks every few minutes to protect your eyes from dryness and strain. Incorporate simple eye exercises like eye rolling, focus shifting, and stretching during these breaks.
Just like how sunglasses protect your eyes outdoors, using good quality UV protection glasses while working on screens is essential. These glasses help prevent direct light damage from screens. Many people suffer from dry eyes due to prolonged screen time. Do not ignore symptoms like eye pain, dryness, or watery eyes. Experts recommend seeking medical help to protect your eyes.
