Healthy Eyes for Workers


Power of vision is a priceless thing. Therefore, it is important for everyone to maintain eye health. So, how do I? The experts gave simple tips that may help maintain eye health.

  • Spend a lot of time working at the computer screen to make your eyes tired and dry. Try to position your computer screen 5-9 inches lower than your eyes. That will bring down your eyelids so you can maintain a sufficient number of eye blink to keep the eyes still wet.
  • If the computer screen cannot be driven, you can measure the distance between screen and eyes. Then, consult with your doctor to find the right glasses for distance.
  • Another way is to apply the 20/20/20 rule. I.e. look at something that is 20 feet (about 6 meters) from where you are for 20 seconds every 20 minutes you work at a computer.
  • For those of you who work outside the room, use of glasses that have protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays. According to experts, ultraviolet light can increase the risk of cataracts. Dr. Robin Vann, head of comprehensive ophthalmology at Duke Eye Center, North Carolina, USA, suggested that the lenses cover the face from forehead down to the bottom of the upper cheek.
