Tips for Fighting Computer Fatigue

Published Apr 20, 2007

Does logging on give you headaches, blurred vision, and dry eyes? Fight back with these great tips.

Make sure your eyes look down slightly when you work. Look away from your screen every half hour, and focus on something 20 feet away. And leave your desk completely once every hour to give your eyes a break from the screen.

 

Our ancestors roamed the Serengeti with their sights set on the far-away horizon. We sit at desks all day staring at a computer screen. The result for many is computer fatigue syndrome. It causes eyestrain, dizziness, headaches, low energy, and neck, back and shoulder pain.

Working or playing on the computer for more than three hours a day increases your odds of the condition. So remember the three Rs:

Readjust -- your screen, that is, so your eyes look down;

Refocus -- your eyes -- on something far away, once in a while; 

Remove -- your whole body from your workstation now and then.

And, what the heck -- blink once in a while, too, to help keep your eyes moist!
