In today’s world of technology, blogging has become an addiction to many people. People are so involved in their blogging that even they are neglecting their own health. So I decided to write a post on eye care because this is one of the most common problems faced by Bloggers who spends hours of day sitting in front of computer. We have already informed you about Pro-blogging stress and solution.

This is not only for Bloggers but also any one who spends lots of time in front of computer, television Here are some important tips and suggestions to take care of your eyes.

1) Take a break – in between your work have small breaks especially if you are working for long hours which help you in reducing strain on your eyes and increases blood supply to your body.

2)Drink more water – this point looks so simple but very effective because if you take more water puffiness of your eyes can be reduced.

3) Apply palming method – this method but you have to rub your hands against each other until they get warm and then you have to cup your eyes for some time. The advantage of doing this that both your eyes as well as elbows get relaxed simultaneously.

4) Looking at distant objects in between your long working hours and again coming back to normal near vision will help your eyes to focus better.

5) Diet is very important – take green vegetables, tomatoes, citrus, spinach, dairy products and foods rich in A, E, C.

6) Do some eye exercises- for this I would like to tell you one of the best exercises that is –“first blink your eyes for some time and later close your eyes and just roll your eyes clockwise and anti-clockwise. In between this process you just several deep breaths and slowly breathe out and open your eyes.  Do this exercise for about 2 minutes before going to work.

Note:

  • Never rub your eyes
  • Visit doctor if you have any eye problems
  • Try to cut your alcohol or smoking intake
  • You can use anti glare glasses

I’m sure even you spend lots of time in front of computer or television. What steps do you take to take care of your eyes? Do share your Eye care tips with us.

Nice post Rajesh.Yes,Hours of work can leave our eyes stressed. Especially at nights.

One more thing : Your workplace conditions may be responsible for eye stress too. For example : if light falling in your Computer monitor results in glares, thereby disturbing your pupils. I have written an article to remove eye strain.

My eyesight has changed tremendously over the last 10 years of working online and starring into a computer for 18hrs a day, I certainly don’t take enough breaks.

Nice tips bro :)
I’ve written a small app to remind me to relax every 10 mins. There’re many apps like this out there, but they can’t satisfied me so writing one for me is a good idea. The scheme is it alerts me every 10 mins to take 5 min relax (it also reminds the break is over), so then I pause the job, make 2 or 3 tweet and lying down to release stress on my back -> I find that the CTR is increased when I tweet and give time for followers to read.
