Ways to relieve eye fatigue

Working or studying in front of a computer for a long time will inevitably cause our eyes to become sore, tired, or even tearful. We only know that the body needs rest when it is tired, but we ignore that the eyes also need rest when they are tired. Long-term use of the eyes will put a lot of pressure on the eyes, and myopia is inevitable. So what are the ways to relieve eye fatigue? Let’s take a look.

Pay attention to the light: Reading in dim light will not hurt your eyes, but if the light does not provide enough contrast between light and dark, it will easily make your eyes tired. Use soft lighting (non-glare lighting) that provides contrast between light and dark. Do not use lamps that reflect light directly into your eyes.

Interrupt your work: If you use the computer for 6-8 hours continuously, you should take a break every 2-3 hours. Get a cup of coffee, go to the bathroom, or just take your eyes off the computer for 10-15 minutes.

Dim the light from the screen: The fonts and numbers on the computer screen are like small light bulbs that shine light directly into your eyes. Therefore, you need to lower the brightness of the screen and adjust the contrast (light and dark contrast) to make the font clear.

Rest your eyes: The best way to relieve eye strain is to give your eyes a rest. It's easier than you think. You can talk on the phone with your eyes closed. If you don't need to read or write anything, you can just close your eyes and rest while chatting. People who practice this method while talking on the phone say that it does feel much more comfortable for their eyes and that it helps eliminate eyestrain.

Make tea: But it is not for drinking, but for applying on the eyes. Soak a towel in the tea, lie down, place the warm towel over your eyes, and close your eyes for 10-15 minutes. This will eliminate the strain on your eyes. Be careful not to get the tea in your eyes, and let it cool for a while before dipping the washcloth in it.

The above content briefly introduces several small methods that can effectively relieve eye fatigue. Friends in need may wish to give it a try. If your job requires you to sit in front of a computer all the time, it is recommended that you stand up and move around every once in a while, stretch your body, rub your eyes, or look into the distance. This can help protect your eyes.
