Eye Strain Treatment
Eye Strain Treatment
You can usually relieve eye strain (or avoid it in the first place) by:
- Stopping every 30 minutes and looking out a window or down a hallway as your eyes completely relax (even 20 to 30 seconds helps)
- Sitting about 25 inches from computer screens and tilting them so you have to look slightly downward
- Using artificial tears to relieve dry eyes, caused by decreased blinking
Our eye doctors can help provide tips on how to relieve your eye strain and make adjustments. They can also provide you with a new prescription if needed or assess if you should have different glasses for certain activities, such as work.
