More than a quarter have to enlarge the font size on their mobile phone so they can read it clearly. Meanwhile, 28% regularly squint(眯眼看) at the screen. And all of them are signs of eye disorder.
"The research has shown our eyes are not designed to be fixed on a single object for a long time, especially smaller laptops or smart devices. Even worse, staring at the screen constantly can lead to dry eye syndrome," says Giles Edmonds, a clinical service director.
Dry eye syndrome is a condition where the eyes do not make enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. Here are some simple solutions to prevent eye strain and irritation, and preserve your eye health overall.
Rest your eyes.
Follow the 20:20:20 rule, looking up from your screen every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. It in turn reduces eye tiredness.
Adjust your workstation.
Change your screen settings to ensure that the brightness and contrast are balanced correctly, as well as making fonts larger. Also, be mindful of how your workstation is positioned. Adjust your screen ensuring it is 15-20 degrees below eye level and around 50-70 cm away from the eyes. .
Reduce glare(眩光).
. Try reducing this by attaching an anti-glare screen to your monitor or laptop to avoid external light shining onto the screen. Glasses wearers can also have lenses treated with an anti-glare coating.
A. People should try to reduce the time spent on the screen.
B. One can read his favorite paper books instead of e-books.
C. Half confess they're forced to enlarge images to see them clearly.
D. Another thing to focus on is to make sure your room is properly lit.
E. Looking into the distance helps relax the focusing muscles of your eyes.
F. Reflections on your computer screen can cause glare and lead to eye fatigue.
G. They may feel uncomfortable, painful, tired and even start to itch (发痒) or burn.
