Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away. This helps reduce eye strain by giving your eyes a break from constant focus on the screen.
Staring at screens can reduce your blink rate, causing dryness. Consciously remind yourself to blink often, or try artificial tears to keep your eyes moist.
Lowering brightness, increasing text size, and adjusting contrast to comfortable levels can reduce strain. Using "Night Mode" or blue light filters, especially in the evening, helps too.
Applying a warm, damp cloth over your closed eyes can relax eye muscles and stimulate tear production, helping relieve dryness and strain.
Ensure the room lighting isn’t too harsh or too dim compared to your screen. Avoid direct glare on your screen by using curtains or an anti-glare screen protector.
While these remedies provide relief, protecting your long-term eye health requires more. Regular screen breaks, good ergonomics, and health insurance that covers eye care are essential. Discover the best health insurance policies at Elephant.in today
