Anyone who sits for long periods of time at the PC at work each day has likely undergone some pain in the eyes, and negative effects on their vision. I sit for a good 12 hours a day in front of the PC nearly each day, and after a few months of that I started to undergo a slightly distressing burning sensation in my eyes when using the computer ; my eyes felt dry and scratchy ; I felt waste moving around in my eye socket, next to and in back of my eyeballs ; and I began seeing some eye "floaters", which are dark dots that float around in your field of vision, in addition to some dark shadows and occasionallight flashes when I moved my eyes. Needless to say I was in a bit of a panic, since this was the 1st time I had ever experienced any eye problems. In my attempts to solve this issue I learned a couple of things PC users can do to guard their eyes and keep them healthy. Understand that I'm not a physician, these are simply some things that I looked into and found them to be personally really useful.
The single most vital element in reducing eye strain and its various subsequent issues was to begin turning down my PC screen's brightness. I had always believed that the standard brightness was the best, and was the standard since it was the the safest for our eyes. How inaccurate I was. The day that I started lowering my screen brightness, my eyes' burning sensation was decreased by around ninety percent. I still get it a little bit at the end of my work day, but it comes much later and it is a lot less severe than before. How much I turn down the screen brightness depends on the room's brightness. When the room is dimly lit, I dim the screen quite a bit to match the room's level of brightness. When the room is more brightly lit then I do not reduce the screen brightness as much, but I still lower the default brightness by some clicks. Please be proactive and begin lowering your screen brightness before you begin to have Problems.
The next significant issue has been to ensure that my eyes are hydrated. Your eyeballs can easily dry out when you are making them work hard, and this can raise your eye strain and create more discomfort and worry. All of those little itches and tickles you're feeling when you don't keep your eyes hydrated can be a little scary, like there's an insect or something moving around back there. But truly it's because of the dryness. So I 'dlike to recommend you buy some eye drops and apply 2 drops to each eye each couple of hours, or at times when your eyes get dry or itchy. Fancy eyedrops are not necessary, merely a basic vitamin eyedrop will do. Certain eyedrops contain eucalyptus, which has a cooling feeling that will offer relief when you have a burning feeling in your eyes. Another important part of keeping your eyes hydrated is simply consuming enough water and eating water based foods like vegetables and fruit. During the work day it can be easy to drink nothing but coffee, but remember that coffee is a diuretic that removes water from your body including your eyes. So be sure you consume lots of water.
One last thing you can do to keep your eyes healthy and robust is to eat blueberries or blueberry extract. Inside blueberries there are anthocyans, a kind of bioflavanoid that is soaked quickly into the brain, and has a fast impact on your sight. So if you are feeling some heavy eye strain and need fast results, in addition to eye drops I'd suggest you consume some blueberries or blueberry extract capsules. I'm taking 2 blueberry extract tablets every day for ongoing eye health, and I'm taking an extra dose whenever I feel some heavy strain. There are also antioxydants inside blueberries that help stop cancer and are very healthy in general.
The preceding three elementss are what have particularly helped me get over my eye issues. Living a healthful way of life generally is also important. For instance, floaters, shadows and light flashes occur much more when I haven't gotten a good night's sleep. When I have gotten a good night's they are almost gone completely. So use the above techniques and remember to always keep your fitness as your number one concern.
