Most professionals still believe that the computer screen has no impact on the health of our eyes.
But they’re wrong.
According to a study by the American Academy of Optometry, working behind a computer screen for even two hours a day significantly increases the risk of eye problems.
Find out below how to avoid overtaxing your eyes at work.

5 tips for changing your screen habits

  • Clean dust off your screen frequently, and make sure it’s the brightest object in the room.
  • Avoid using your smartphone or tablet in direct sunlight, as the gray screen of your device will make your eyes work harder.
  • Adjust your screen so that it’s right in front of you, not tilted.
    Tip: the correct distance between you and your screen is the length of an outstretched arm.
  • Blink and apply the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds to look at what’s happening a few meters away.
  • Consider having your glasses treated against screen reflections.
