 Eye care tips for tech-addicts

If you are constantly glued to those flickering screens, then don't lose sight of the following routines:
Routine checkups

Make it a habit to visit an ophthalmologist once a year if you live and breathe on your computer and other smart devices. Seek advice, particularly if you are experiencing redness or itchiness.
Reduce glare

Opt for installing anti-glare screen on your monitor and if, possible, paint your walls with a darker colour having matte finish to avoid reflections or glare on them.
Take a break

Do not just stare on the screens for hours at a stretch. Take a few minutes break every hour, take a walk around your office, stretch your arms, body and back. It helps in avoiding vision syndrome and also prevents body ache.

Use protective lenses in spectacles

Getting the right spectacle lenses will make it easier for you. Contact lenses lose moisture and tend to dry out during prolonged hours of computer work. It will serve you well if you opt for spectacle lenses that gives you protection.
Exercise and relax your eyes

Rub your palms against each other till they get warm and then cup them for one minute to give them relief. Also there are a few other eye exercises that you can do daily to keep your eyes healthy.
Use proper lighting

Your eyes start developing strain because of extra brightness. You can avoid working with fluorescent lights on in your computer. You can use floor lamps for appropriate visibility.

Water wonder

You can splash water on your eyes to freshen them. It also removes fatigue. Drink water regularly to reduce the puffiness.
Sit straight and upright

Structure your workstation and chair to the coordinating levels. Fix up ergonomic furniture to enable you to position your computer screen 20 to 24 inches from your eyes.
Healthy diet

Balanced diet enriched with portions of Vitamin A, C and E proves to be the most vital supplement for ensuring eye health.
