Sitting at the computer all day and staring at a screen can strain your eyes and even lead to headaches, dry or uncomfortable eyes, and blurred vision. You need to take some protective measures to preserve your eyes from long-term damage and avoid such symptoms. Here are some ways to protect your eyes from digital strain. The 20-20-6 Rule This method is an effective way to protect your eyes from digital strain. Take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to focus on something 6 meters away to relax your eye muscles. Make Ergonomic Adjustments You should position your screen at arm's length and slightly below eye level, and increase the font size to minimize blinking. Adjust Screen Brightness Your screen brightness should match that of your surroundings to avoid optical discomfort and reduce eye strain when focusing on the screen. Take Frequent Breaks You should try to stand up and walk around the room if possible to give your eyes a break. Set an alarm as a reminder to step away from the screen. Reduce Glare Effects Glare effects from reflections on your computer can strain your eyes. By attaching an anti-glare filter to your monitor or computer screen, you can avoid this.
