How to Use Computer

If you spend lots of time on computer you might have noticed that you vision has deteriorated. Though my guess is that you spend too much time at the computer because your vision has deteriorated. Anyway, it’s beyond the point. Most people lose their eyesight when they go to school and that is because they spend hours doing the work at the close distance. So near-point stress undoubtedly plays part here.

So what can be done to prevent it? There are some simple things you can do to alleviate near-point stress. It goes not just for computer work but also for reading, writing and other close range activity.

First, if at all possible, choose your place near the window. Make sure that you are positioned in a way that lets you look through it. When you read a book glance through this window for a few seconds. Do it at least once per every page or for every paragraph. It is very good for the eyes. I noticed that my eyes do not get tired when I practice this kind of reading. For computer work you would probably have to use an alarm clock or some pop-up reminder. Do what it takes, it’s very well worth it.

Take a break every hour or half an hour. Even 3-5 minutes of conscious relaxing will do a lot for your eyes. People waste so much time on their computers anyway that this break should be taken seriously as it will benefit your eyes as well as the rest of the body. You can do some simple physical exercises during it too.

Every 10 minutes glance through the window or around the room. Develop this habit.
