While doing work
that requires you to strain your eyes, take breaks every five
minutes. This is especially true for jobs like needle work and
works involving electronic gadgets.
12.
Use an anti-glare
screen to cut out the radiation while working on your computer.
Radiation is bad for your eyes and an anti-glare screen is the
only and the best solution to this. Another option is to wear
glasses that have an anti-glare coating on the lenses.
13.
If your job requires
long hours in front of the computer, you may want to consider
buying a special lamp that clips on the monitor. This lamp reduces
the eye-strain caused by staring at the computer screen, and
thus reduces headaches.
14.
Eat plenty of
carrots; they are good for your eyes. Carrots are the best things
that nature has to offer for eye sight so go ahead and gorge
on them. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is the vitamin
required for proper eye sight.
15.
Never look at
the sun directly, especially between 7 am in the morning and
4 pm in the evening. If you will be outside during this time
or driving, be sure to shield your eyes in some manner.
16.
While going outdoors
during the summer, protect your eyes using sunglasses. Sunglasses
are the best protection that you can give your eyes when you
go out in the sun. The sun beats down ultra violet and other
harmful radiations. You eyes need protection from these radiations
because they can cause serious damage to your eyes if they are
directly exposed to them. Below are some tips for choosing sunglasses.
- The sunglasses
must cover the region of your eyes completely.
- Sunglasses may be of any color
that you like but make sure that they guard your eyes against
ultra violet radiations.
- Take care to see that your sunglasses
are always clean and free from dust and smudges.
- The best way to choose your
sunglasses is to put them on and stare at your face in a mirror.
If you can see your eyes in the mirror, then the glasses are
not good enough.
17.
Do not work continuously
on your computer for more than half an hour. This in fact is
a very relative concept because some people tire faster than
other when working on the computer. Computer screens emit radiation,
so the less time in front of the computer, the better.
If your eyes give
you signs that it has had enough take the cue. But often, after
you get used to working on the computer, you start ignoring
these signs. The best thing you can do is make it a point to
give your eyes a break at least every half hour of working on
the computer.
The best rest
that you can give your eyes is staring at a distant object.
Or you can try massaging your eyes gently. Please remember that
your eyes are unlike any other part of your body so you have
to take very good care of them. The same holds true when it
comes to massaging your eyes as well.
- When you massage
your eyes take care to use only the soft balls of your fingers.
- Do not use your finger tips
because your nails could give you scratches.
- The best fingers to massage
your eyes with are the three middle fingers, which are the
fingers between your thumb and the little finger.
- Place the balls of your fingers
on you’re your eye brows and gently press down.
- Please remember to be gentle;
we are not talking about a major massage therapy here.
- Now let your fingers roll down
around your eyes making gentle circling movements.
- The motion should start from
the eye brows and end at the corners of the eyes near the
nose bridge.
- Repeat this two or three times
and you can feel your eye muscles relax.
- It is a good idea to this at
least five or six times a day if you are working at something
that gives a lot of strain to your eyes.
18.
If you feel that
your eyes are under strain, take a break. The best relaxation
for your eyes is staring at a distant object or just keeping
them closed. Your eyes will give you signs when they are under
strain. You will find that you are getting tired sooner, your
eyes may start to water or you might notice that you have to
squint your eyes in order to get a better view.
19.
Never watch television
while lying down. The best position to watch television is sitting
and your eyes should preferably be at the level of the television
screen.
20.
Do not sit too
close to your television set. Take care to sit a considerable
distance from the screen. It is easier for your eyes to focus
on the images that flash across your TV screen. It is also less
harmful for your eyes. The ideal distance from your TV set is
around five feet or more.
