👁️ Rest your eyes the right way! Reduce dry, dazzling eyes with 20-20-20 rules recommended by ophthalmologists

Working on a screen all day and resting your eyes by taking a mobile phone to plow social media?

If this is the case, your eyes are really "not resting."

Today, most people use a computer, smartphone, or tablet for hours in a row to develop dry eyes, burning eyes, dazzling, eye pain, or headaches. These symptoms are called Digital Eye Strain (DES) or Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a condition caused by prolonged use of digital screens.

The good news is that staying in the right way can help reduce these symptoms immediately.

👀 1.Rule 20-20-20 The easiest way to rest your eyes

This is a widely accepted recommendation from ophthalmologists.

Every 20 minutes.

➡️ Stop looking at the screen for 20 seconds.

➡️ and look at objects that are about 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.

Looking far helps close-up muscles to loosen, reduces eye fatigue, and allows for greater eye comfort.

If there is a window, look at the tree or the green space outside, it is another way to relax your eyes.

👁️ 2. Don't forget to blink.

When we stare at the screen, the blink rate often decreases from normal, causing tears to evaporate quickly, resulting in symptoms.

* Dry eyes

* Burning eyes

* Irritated

* Temporarily not looking sharp

Normally, people blink about 15-20 times a minute, but while using the screen, it can be reduced to only about 5-7 times a minute.

The easy way is

• Intend to blink more often periodically

• or close your eyes gently for 2-3 seconds to help keep the tears thoroughly covered.

🤲 3.Palming Relax the eyes with warmth from the palm.

If you feel your eyes lagging behind, use a continuous screen. Try the Palming pose.

1. Rub both palms until they feel warm

2. Close your eyes

3. Use your paw to cover your eyes gently without pressing your eyeball.

4. Breathe in and out slowly for 1-2 minutes.

This method may help to relax the muscles around the eyes and reduce fatigue in some people, even not a direct treatment for Digital Eye Strain.

🖥️ Set up your desk to be eye friendly.

In addition to resting your eyes, the environment can reduce symptoms.

✅ Screen spacing

The screen should be placed about 50-70 centimeters from the eye (about one arm span).

And keep the center of the screen about 10-15 degrees below eye level to help reduce eye blast and reduce tear evaporation.

💡 Adjust the light to fit.

The office should be well lit.

Avoid using a mobile phone in a completely dark room, because the eyes have to adapt more to light differences, causing eye fatigue, burning or eye pain easily.

✨ Reduce glare on the screen.

The glare from a window or lamp is another reason why the eyes work hard.

Try adjusting the screen position, changing the desk angle, or using matte reflective film to help you see the screen more comfortably.

📌 Summary

If you use a computer or smartphone for a long time every day, try to start taking care of your eyes with a simple primary as follows:

✅ Use the 20-20-20 rule every 20 minutes.

✅ blink more often.

✅ Rest your eyes with your eyes closed or periodically do Palming.
