What Are The Risks of Extended Computer Viewing and How To Prevent It
Eyesight is a growing concern amongst people. Many studies have shown that extended computer viewing for multiple hours a day can cause loads of damage over time. Multiple hours? Many of us users spend 3+ hours a day... lets look at what we can do.
What risks are there?
Tips for avoiding eye stress:
What risks are there?
- An increased chance of developing Glaucoma in old age... especially if it runs in the family
- Shortsightedness... especially if it runs in the family
- Eye discomfort, headaches
- Blearing, tired eyes, inflammation
Tips for avoiding eye stress:
- Position the screen at roughly an arm's length away
- Avoid squinting
- Blink often to prevent dryness
- Lower brightness and contrast (but not to an uncomfortable level)
- Angle your monitor to avoid reflections
- Use desk lights... there are models developed specifically to reduce eye stress
- Look away from the monitor at distant objects when you have the chance such as when you're downloading/loading something, die while playing a game, when your internet disconnects for a while, etc.
- Keep a clean monitor
- Take frequent, quick breaks. Exercise in your backyard for a while or something. It's not that hard.
- Talk to your doctor if you experience any problems
