im an office lady, and have to work in front of computer from 9am till 6pm everyday. after im back home and have dinner, most likely to sit back to computer again till the time when i go to bed. i know its rly bad for my eyes, but is there anyone has a good idea to protect my eyes in some way?
good question.
Anti-glare glasses can help your eyes, so get them.
according to some studies they are good.
most common problem sitting in front of the screen is the tired muscles around your eyes that governs focus. since you are focused on a set distance for a long time your eye tire out and hence short sightedness. the other side is the UV/blue scrren high energy radiation from the screens that scarrs the retina.
one other factor is posture, bad sitting habits and other things that you hold for a long time.
solution is quite simple in each, not fully effective but it's what doctors and people around me told me:
1. take short breaks, look/focus on something at least 6~10m or more away for 20 seconds every 30 minutes or 1 hour. use this time to stretch and grab some water
2. obtain a low-blue light monitor. or a UV/blue light filter -> these can substantially decrease the amount of unwanted high energy radiation from the screen
3. work in a well lit, fresh/circulating air environment. if no windows, have some green plants indoors
4. obtain a good work chair. one with good egronomics and adjustable height
5. live a healthy lifestyle -> excercise, looking at green objects(preferablly plants) and maintain a healthy, happy attitude
hope that helps
quit your job. to find another.
