Question:
What are the best ways to protect our eyes while working on the computer for long hours?
Answers:
Being on the computer on for long hours will cause computer vision syndrome. Symptoms include light sensitivity, dry/burning eyes and loss of focusing ability. Computer vision syndrome is not permanent when you experience it that just means your eyes need a break. Every 20 minutes, focus the eyes on an object 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds. Also, the use of over-the-counter artificial tear solutions and computer glasses can reduce the effects of CVS."
If you wear glasses make sure you get an antireflection coating on them to help protect your eyes from the glare. Also if you are at the presbyopic stage of life (40+) you may want to talk to your eye care professional about computer glasses with progressive lenses that are especially designed for you. This may help reduce eyestrain from computers :)
