Okay lets face it, we spend too much time in front of our computers, laptops, smartphones and the likes, be it for academic purposes, work or the good old Facebook and other sites. we just can't get enough of our devices. But most are unaware what effects this long periods in front of this good technological devices has on our eyes and most importantly we don't know that there are easy to do tips to help protect and keep our eye-sights much longer, you may need those eyes to look at your beautiful Grandchildren when u retire, :), ha ha ha u don't want to get old? you will! enough of my goofiness, here are some 5-easy-steps to follow:
1. Let your eyes have a break: use the 20-20-20 rule, after spending 20 minutes on your computer, take a 20 seconds break, looking at an object which is about 20metres away
2. move your eyes: after a long time infront ofyour computer, u can do the eye movement exercise, where u will move your eyes as follow, clockwise (around), up and down, repeat 3 times
3. Blink your eyes to make tears secrete, keep the eyes wet: important if u wear contact lenses
4. Breath regularly: lol I know you are breathing, but focusing on something on a computer make you breath shallowly at times so remind yourself to breath more deeply
5. Adjust your screen distance. The distance between your eyes and the screen should be from 50 to 70 cm and 10 to 20 cm lower than your eyesight
