Simple tips for eye care

1. Give a break to your eyes every 20 minutes this will help improve your productivity too.

2. Correct positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm’s length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.





3. Keep away from lamps that produce heat.
Lamp and monitors are different.
If its a TFT Monitor then its not harmful to eyes, and while watching TV always maintain a good distance dont watch it from too close and always watch TV in a well lit room

Lighting can make all the difference

Room lighting should be diffuse, not direct, to reduce glare and reflections from your screen. Look into an internal or external glare screen and be sure to set your colour, contrast and brightness levels to suit you.


4. Use an umbrella or sunglasses to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Anti-reflective coatings on the lenses of your glasses can be applied by your optometrist to reduce discomfort and to ease reduced vision from bright and/or flickering light sources such as VDTs and fluorescent lights. And don’t forget, your doctor of optometry can talk to you about eyeglasses designed specifically for people who use computers a lot.


5. Eat lots of spinach, leeks, blueberries (and fish) because all contain properties known to keep eyes healthy.

6. Sleep enough
