The best thing for reducing eye strain while on the computer is to take frequent breaks. Its a tremendous strain on your eyes to be staring at the screen for hours on end, so to ease that strain, take a few minutes every half hour or so and turn away from your computer completely, and focus on objects that are far away (like down the hallway, or out into another room) for a few minutes. Get up, walk around, and let your eyes focus on things that are further away than your monitor. I would to that at least 3 times an hour to prevent eye strain and headaches.
Also, if you wear glasses, and you don't have it already, get an anti-reflective coating put on your lenses next time you need a new prescription. Its a lens treatment that allows light to pass through the lens, rather than be reflected off the surface, which produces massive amounts of reflection and glare, which is also a major contributor of eye strain. And you get tons of glare on your lenses from the computer screen, even if you have a glare protector on your monitor. An anti-reflective coating will greatly reduce this problem and it is a MUST HAVE for people who use a computer at all. The coating also virtually eliminates glare from any light source...so its great for driving at night, its great for students in school under those horrible flourescent lights; its actually a very functional coating that everyone who wears glasses would benefit from. Just be careful of the brand of anti-reflective coating. There are some very cheap and crappy coatings that scratch almost as soon as you expose them to air! Ask for a good, strong anti-reflective coating, like Crizal or Zeiss. They are a little more expensive but they last a lot longer than "El cheapo" brand.
Hope this helps!
There's screens to put in front of the computer monitor so that it doesn't affect your eyes.
Lower brightness. Increase contrast. Look away... look away...look away... now and then.
i actually got a covering on my glasses as well. it helps for eye strain and glare, its offered by lens crafters.
other than that, only spend 15 min at time on the pc, i helps your eyes adjust better, and you don't get as many headaches
It's not eye strain that is usually a problem when using a computer. Normally its lack of use of your eye muscles because you aren't changing focus, so, every 30-60 minutes:
1. Choose a point somewhere in the room thats about 5 meters away.
2. Focus on it for 10 seconds.
3. Focus on something close up for 10 seconds.
4. Repeat.
There is a screen that can reduce the glare and help with seeing the screen better
after every 30 mins, splash cool water on eyes n keep them shut with ur palms on them for 10 seconds. get an anti glare screen for ur monitor. take almonds n carrots in ur diet. open n close ur eyez alternatively after every hour for 20 counts. look at greenry or flower pot around ur table dats it
