Like many of you, I spend my days glued to a screen all the time. Most of the time I get so lost that I forget to take breaks and the result is eye...

I found this useful: HOW TO LOVE YOUR EYES - 10 tips.
I also use a free desktop application called EyeLeo - it is a handy PC application that reminds you to take a break for your eyes.
I have been using computers for over 30 years, and found that taking care of eyes is very important. At later years one can encounter issues which are difficult and expensive to handle.
Thanks for the article. EyeLeo looks good :)
Physically getting up to take breaks regularly helps too! I work remotely so I get up to do household chores or errands or yoga for a bit. Sometimes a break like that helps the mind settle too.
Oh yeah that's a great tip! I have made it a habit to take regular eye breaks every 20 minutes, and then get up and stretch every hour. Works wonders!
One important element for eyes: you must have as much natural light as possible in your room (without reflections on your screen) ☀️ lack of light creates fatigue, the brain has to make extra effort, and it is the origin of Myopia.
Not using small screens, blue light filter, always fairly high brightness with enough contrast, no background lights in peripheral vision, playing video games, blueberries, occasionally looking out into the distance. Walks in the forest help me too, there's something about the color green and about the complicated patterns of nature that are good for eyes.
It used to happen to me often, but I find myself not dealing with this issue as much anymore. Not sure what the solution was as I've just ignored it and went along my day coding lol
These can provide remedy: sipping water throughout the day, reducing the stress levels, glancing out the window occasionally in between coding sessions, Music in the background, circular eye motions.
I wonder if those computer blue light glasses help at all?
I try to use the 'Pomodoro Technique' to manage the time I'm working on a task, and this helps me to avoid killing my eyes!
I would say the most important steps are 2 and 4.
I was having dry eyes and eye strain so bad before that I've gone to the hospital few times but these "quick" tips helped me.
I am using blue ray protected lenses ! 😁👓🤏🏻
