How To Have Healthy And Pretty Eyes Page 3 | ThirdAge: While using the computer, wear reading glasses that are half the number of your normal reading glasses.
- If you do a lot of work (or even fun stuff) at the computer, make sure you take regular breaks so your eyes can have a rest. Just a few minutes of looking away will help. If you can, look out a window or go outside so that you can focus on faraway objects, countering the “up close” focus of computer work.
- While at the computer, keep your seat higher, rather than lower, so that you are looking down at the computer screen. This causes your eye lids to be more closed than open, giving air less room to circulate around your eyes, which will help with “dry eye.”
