TIPS FOR COMPUTER EYE STRAIN RELIEF

The high levels of exposure to blue light from screens can have serious and potentially irreversible impacts on our health. Long exposure to high energy particles at the blue end of the visible light spectrum can damage receptors in the eye. Major operating systems have acknowledged the dangers of blue light and provided blue light filters. Nightshift on Mac OS and iOS, Night Mode on Android, and Blue Light Settings in Windows. Eyewear is essential to circumvent the effects of high-intensity light, Blue-light blocking glasses have filters in their lenses that block or absorb blue light. Rest your eyes every 20 minutes. Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Get up at least every 2 hours and take a 15-minute break. Occasionally do some eye exercises, for example rotate the pupils from top to bottom and from right to left. It is possible to support your eyes’ natural protection by consuming foods or supplements rich in key nutrients. Lutein and zeaxanthin occur naturally in foods like spinach, kale and other leafy greens. While meso-zeaxanthin can be found in certain fish.
