Eye care for computer users

If you are into a job that requires working on computers for long hours, do take off your eyes from computer at regular intervals and have an anti-glare screen set on your computer.

While working for long hours, look at distant objects either in your office or outside. Looking at a distant object and then returning to your task helps your eyes focus better.

Try taking such visual breaks for about 5 to 10 minutes every hour.

through common towels and handkerchiefs.
