How to Take Care of Your Eyes While Working for Hours in PC

Eyes are one of the most precious, imperative and useful organ for all of us. The feeling of seeing the world and our loved ones with our own eyes is incomparable. We cannot even imagine our lives without eyes, infact even if we try to imagine it for few seconds we will become very scared. Hence, the important organ should not be taken for granted ever. 

We often heard our elders saying us not to sit close to the television or not to watch the movie closely. They were very correct, as this is one of the basic reasons behind CVS.
Regular usage of computers for 3 to more hours daily can aggravate vision related symptoms; these are also termed as CVS or Computer Vision Syndromes. If these symptoms are taken lightly or avoided, they can result in serious complications.

Follow certain tips given below in order to maintain your eye health-

•    Never forget to take visual breaks while working hours for about 5-10 minutes every hour. You can do this by looking at the distant object outside or inside your office only.

•    Before leaving for the office, keep 2 used tea bags in the fridge. Once you are back, place them gently on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. Your eyes will be very relaxed by doing so.

•    A best workout for your eye- Close your eyes, roll your eyeballs clockwise as well as anticlockwise and then take a long deep breath. Now slowly open your eyes while releasing breath. Repeat this exercise 2-3 times before getting back to your work.

Health and Fitness Tips will be continued for your benefit till my eyes will allow me!!

  1. Nice article but need some changes.
    As you mentioned CVS stands for Computer Vision syndrome. So 'syndrome' words shouldnt be repeated.
    The best way to relaz your eyes is some splash of tap water and then keep your eyes closed for 5-10 minutes. That may be sometime practical but still worth doing it if possible.
    Computer vision syndrome is the one of most common cause of dry eyes and it can be very troublesome.
    Regular lid hygiene is also very important step to keep eyes healthy.

    Best Wishes

    Keep doing the hard work.
