What can I do to relieve Eye strain?!


Question: What can I do to relieve Eye strain?
My eyes have been hurting me and my vision has been a little blurry but nothing serious, I think it's from using my laptop too much, So what should I do to relieve eye strain?

Thanks

Answers:

Try using a seperate keyboard and mouse iwth the laptop so you can keep the screen farther away. Ifind taking regular breaks and making sure that I am off the screens for an hour before I go to bed helps. If my eyes feel very tired I find lying down and putting a relaxation bag over them such as they sell on yoga sites ( they are weighted) helps ease off the muscles. I also try and make sure I have a day when I dont' do a lot of close work and take my eyes out into the fresh air. But as I enjoy hill walking this isn't a problem and is an ideal way of relieving eye strain. If you do get your eyes really strained then as footprinz has said the only thing to do is stay off the screens for a couple of days and then be more careful.

Having an eye check might be a good idea as well as if you have mild problems you can be leaning forward too close to teh screen which stresses your eyes and you may not realize this.



your blurry vision may not be the problem, but im sure that simple readers would help. I also have this condition where the nerve inside my eye doesnt turn fully when i focus in to see something readers for close up like computers close should help. you can get them at any local drug store or walmart



Well, you seem to know the cause, so the solution is simple.

Spend a lot less time on the laptop for a couple of weeks.

Laptops are very hard on the eyes because the screens are small, and you can't keep it far enough away , so your eyes are constantly working to focus up close.

Sit arm length from the laptop and try and spend less time on it.


Good luck
