4. Blink more
Various studies show that as we work on computers we reduce our blink rate which causes problems like dry eyes, burning sensation, and the sensation of gritty eyes.
Our average blink rate is 12 blinks per minute. Statistics show that while using computers this rate goes down to 5 blinks per minute.
Lower blink rate leads to dehydration of the cornea which causes dry eyes. Blinking more improves focus along with reduction in pain.
5. Wash your eyes
If your eyes are red and feel strained wash you eyes with fresh water.
Doing this will eradicate all the dirt from your eyes and cool them off. It will also hydrate your eyes which will take away fatigue and make you feel re-energized.
6. Proper lighting
Proper lighting also influences the pain that our eyes bear wen we work in front of screens.
Its recommended to have a light source behind you when you work.
Light should not be too dim while your work.
Placing light right in front of your computer or bright overhead lighting adds to the strain.
