1. Minimize glare by adjusting
window shades, blinds or drapes to block sunlight and
reflections.
2. Blink more often to keep your eyes
moisturized.
3. Refocus your eyes. Look away from your
computer or your work every 15 minutes or so. If you dont
have a window to look out, hang a picture of a beautiful
outdoor scene near your work area.
By giving your eyes
short breaks, you can alleviate eye strain and help reduce
headaches and neck tension. Give it a try next time you notice
your eyes feeling a little tired.
