Answer 1

buy a filter screen for your monitor, this will help. By the way, carrots do nothing to improve your eye sight, but they are good for you.

Answer 2

Hi there,

You need to give breaks to your eyes every few minutes. Try these things:

Every two minutes, look at something far for just two seconds. If there are any trees or plants near your work station that is the best.

Blink your eyes frequently. We tend to forget to blink when we are working at the computer.

Every half and hour, rub your palms together and place them on your eyes for about a minute. This will really help in relaxing your eyes.

Also learn deep breathing or abdominal breathing. Take a deep breath, hold for two seconds and let it out. Do this about 10 times at one go. It will help in getting more oxygen into your brain and thereby prevent any damage to your eyesight.

Every two hours take a break from work. Get up and walk around for 10 minutes. This will not only give a break to your eyes but to your whole body as well.

You just need to incorporate these things into your work schedule. In the beginning it will take some time to get used to it. Slowly when you get used to doing these things you will not have to make any effort in doing these things. You can also write it down a paper and place it near your computer so that you do not foget to do these things while you are working.

Also try doing these things:

Splash your eyes with clean water first thing in the morning.

Strenghten your eye muscles through some exercises. Try these:

1. Keep your head steady and look up and down or try looking at the centre of your eyebrows and then towards the tip of your nose. Do this 6 to 7 times. 6 times up and 6 times down.

2. Again keeping your head steady look at the left and then look at the right. Do this 6 to 7 times.

3. Roll your eyes first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Do this 6 time clockwise and 6 times counter clockwise.

The movement of your eyes during these exercises should be very slow and your head needs to be steady. Only your eyes should be moving without putting any undue strain on them.

Also a good diet is always good for the body and not just the eyes. So eat lots of fruits, salads, fibres. Stay away from junk food as much as possible.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

The only thing that I know would be helpful when working on the computer is that you have a special anti glare coating on your glasses. I have it on mine and it really helps a lot. They also recommend that you take frequent breaks from the pc and that once in a while you look away from your monitor. By the way, LCD panels are much easier on the eyes than the regular monitors.

Answer 4

I can't wear my contacts at the computer. Some thing dries them out try artificial tears and consult your eye doctor
Some people use an Eyeglass filter to cut down on the glare.

Answer 5

Try adjusting the brightness of your computer screen, or buying one of those attachments that hooks to the front of the monitor, reducing glar and making the image sharper.
