After every 20 to 30 minutes of work, look at a distant away object and blink several times. This will help in better focusing

Blink frequently. People tend to reduce blink rate while working on computer. This can lead to dry eyes. Try to blink 12 to 15 times every minute.

Exercise you eyes at frequent intervals. Eye exercise is simple. All you need to do is just blink several times, then close your eyes and role them in clockwise and anti clockwise direction. While doing this, inhale and exhale slowly and open your eyes slowly after doing this.

• Increase the font size: If the reason you sit so close to your screen is because you find it easier to read, then increase the font size. That way you can sit further back and read more comfortably.

• Make sure you blink!: The reason our eyes often sting when we are starring at a computer screen is because we tend not to blink as much as we should do. We should blink on average about 6 times per minute but when we are concentrating on a computer screen in can be as little as twice.

Blinking helps keep our eyes nourished and oxygenated so don’t forget to blink when you are busy blogging away!

• Look in to the distance: The reason our distance vision can look blurred after spending hours on the computer is because our eyes get so used to looking at something up close. This temporarily makes our eyes short sighted meaning our distance vision becomes blurred.

Every 10 minutes or so, try to look into the distance for a few seconds. It also relaxes all the muscles in your eyes that are in overdrive when we are looking at the computer.

2.   Never Wash Your Contact Lenses in Tap Water
Washing contact lenses in tap water before placing them in the eye is a common bad habit many wearers admit too. Lenses should only be disinfected and rinsed with proper contact lens solution, which is purposefully designed to kill harmful bacteria and sterilise the lens ready for the next wear. Tap water contains bacteria which can lead to eye infections so should never be used as a solution substitute.

3.   If You Drop Your Contact Lenses, Clean Them Before Wearing Again
Contact lenses are small and fiddly and if you’re trying to put your lenses in quickly, are rushing or trying to do too many things at once, it’s easy to end up dropping them on the floor, sink, table or any other nearby surface. Even if the surface itself has just been cleaned, the lens must be sterilised with an appropriate solution before being worn. It’s surprising how many people drop their contact lenses and then wear them immediately but this is a sure fire way to transfer dirt, germs and bacteria into the eye, leading to infections and discomfort.
