Due to the lockdown caused by Coronavirus, most companies are taking work from their employees through Work From Home.
However, keeping a constant eye on the computer while sitting in one place, the problems of ‘Computer Vision Syndrome’ in people can increase significantly.
AIIMS professor Dr. Tushar Agrawal has given a strict warning about ‘Computer Vision Syndrome’ during work from home.
He told that if a person or child keeps looking at the screen continuously for a long time, then their eyes get affected.
Dr. Aggarwal said, ‘The eyes of the victims of Computer Vision Syndrome show symptoms like pain, headache or dry eye water.
To keep your eyes correct, it is important to keep a few things in mind.
Dr. Aggarwal told that the smaller the screen you see, the more the pain will increase. So try to access your online activities on the big screen.
Apart from this, take care of the distance of the eyes from the screen. It is important to have a distance of about one and a half feet between the two. The pain will also be more if you look closer.
He told that often people forget to blink eyelids while looking at the screen. Watching the screen without blinking the eyelids for several minutes dries the tear film (layer of tears) and the quality starts to deteriorate.
To avoid this, adopting a special formula of 20-20-20 can reduce your problems.
That is, after every 20 minutes between work, you can also take a break by sitting at the same place.
During this time, you have to look at something for 20 seconds at a distance of 20 feet.
This reduces the constant pressure on the eyes. Second, by reducing the screen time of the child or any other household member, the problem can be reduced.
If you work more than 6 hours at the computer than wear anti-glare plain glasses while working on screen.
