Reducing Eye Strain: 5 Simple Strategies for Office Workers.

Spending long hours in front of a computer screen can lead to eye strain, fatigue, and discomfort.  

Many office workers experience symptoms like dryness, blurred vision, and headaches due to prolonged screen exposure. Here are five simple strategies to help reduce eye strain and keep your vision healthy during work hours. 

Follow the 20-20-20 Rule Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. This helps relax your eye muscles and prevents excessive strain.

Adjust Your Screen Setting Ensure your screen brightness matches the surrounding light. Increase text size and adjust contrast to make reading more comfortable. Blue light filters can also reduce eye fatigue.

Blink More Often Staring at screens reduces your blinking rate, leading to dry eyes. Make a conscious effort to blink frequently or use artificial tears if needed.

Maintain Proper Screen Distance Keep your monitor about 20–24 inches away from your eyes and position it slightly below eye level to reduce strain on your neck and eyes.

Use Proper Lighting Avoid glare by adjusting room lighting and using an anti-glare screen if necessary. Position your screen to minimize reflections from windows and overhead lights.

By following these strategies, office workers can protect their vision and stay productive without discomfort.
