How to protect your eyes while working on the computer: four useful tips for preserving eyesight

Prolonged exposure to the screen can lead to eye strain and discomfort. SSPDaily has collected effective tips to help protect your eyes while working at the computer.

Screen location

Ensure that the screen is positioned at least an arm's length away from your eyes to reduce eye strain. Also, make sure the screen is at eye level to avoid bending your head and neck. Take regular breaks to allow your eyes to rest, preventing fatigue and dryness.

Adjust the brightness

It's important to adjust the brightness and color temperature of your screen. Consider using a blue light filter or computer glasses to reduce your exposure to harmful ultraviolet light. These measures can reduce eyestrain and mitigate potential long-term damage.

Proper lighting

Avoid glare and reflections on your screen by placing desk lamps away from your direct line of sight. Ensure that natural light does not create excessive brightness contrast. Use blinds or curtains to control the amount of light entering your workspace, reducing eye fatigue and strain.

Setting up your workstation

Use a chair and desk that are the right height to maintain proper posture and reduce strain on your eyes and body. Choose an ergonomic chair with adequate back support to prevent excessive head bending. Good posture minimizes eye strain.
