How long have you been sitting by your computer today? And yesterday? And the day before? How often do you work by your pc? Every day? Answer these questions and you will see, how often and for how long you strain your eyes and risk your eye health. The more you are sitting there, the more stressed your eyes become. Sometimes you experience headaches, eyestrain or even blurred vision, right? We all are humans and we all have to earn money, even if we have to sit by the monitor all day long. And yes, we all need some rest after work. Doesn’t matter, if this rest is also spent by the screen. But, please, don’t worry. I’m not here to say, you do something wrong. I would like to help you. How? I want to share with you some eye exercises, which will let your eyes have a little rest.
Why Eye Exercises Are Important for Healthy Eyes
Many eye problems occur because of the loss of tone in the eye muscles. The symptom of this is, for example, when one experiences slow refocusing when looking from the screen to distance objects. It means, that the eyesight has become weaker. Another problem is the tension itself. While you are looking at the screen, you are straining your eyes a lot, youb may feel your eyes irritated and dry, occasional doubling of vision or even changes in color perception. If it is happening often and for long periods of time, finally you may get a general feeling of tension and anxiety, your work may become less efficient. Both eye and general tension can be effectively reduced by eye exercises. Eye exercises also help prevent nearsightedness and other eye diseases. Try them, they are very simple, you can do them even at work. Relax your eyes, give them rest they deserve.
