Keep a distance<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While you may think that sitting closer will help you see better, it\u2019s actually the opposite. When you sit too close to your screen, the muscles in your eyes are forced to work harder to focus on the image in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping a safe distance can help keep your eye muscles relaxed and prevent eye strain.<\/p>\n<p><b>It&#8217;s recommended to sit 18-25 inches away from your computer screen, about an arm&#8217;s length away, and have your screen positioned in a way that your eyes look slightly downward on the screen.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Follow the 20-20-20 rule<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Extended periods of near vision activities, such as using a computer or other digital device requires constant focusing. The 20-20-20 rule gives your eyes a chance to relax their focusing muscles every couple of minutes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Reduce the glare on your screen<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The glare on your computer screen isn&#8217;t just irritating, it can also irritate your eyes and cause eye strain. Consider using a matte screen filter to eliminate glare or opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/optical\/guide-to-optical-lenses\/sunglasses\/tinted-lenses-and-mirror-coatings\/do-i-need-coatings-on-my-lenses\/\">anti-reflective coatings<\/a> on your glasses.<\/p>\n<p><b>Another good tip to prevent glare is to avoid placing your computer screen where you can see reflections off windows or lights.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Use artificial tears<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To keep your eyes moist and ease the discomfort of dry eye caused by eye strain, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/guide-to-eye-conditions\/dry-eye\/guide-to-eye-drops\/\">artificial tears.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While there are many over-the-counter choices, keep in mind that some of them contain preservatives, which can sometimes cause further irritation.<\/p>\n<p><b>If eye drops don\u2019t alleviate your symptoms, it may be time to visit your eye doctor.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Visit your eye doctor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Your eye doctor can provide a range of successful options to relieve both dry eyes and eye strain.
