Irritated Eyes
Symptoms such as dry eyes, irritated eyes, contact lens
problems, or if blinking helps to clear your vision can
be due to dry eyes. It is common for computer users to have
dry eyes. This is because we don't blink much and we hold
our eyes wide open when working at the computer.
The following steps can help alleviate your symptoms:
Use artificial tears to re-wet and lubricate your
eyes. Use as recommended by either your doctor or the
manufacturer.
Lower your computer screen so that the center of the
screen is 4-8 inches below your eyes.
If you are seated in a draft or near an air vent, try
to eliminate the flow of air past your eyes.
Low humidity or fumes aggravate a dry eye condition.
If you have these conditions in your work place, fix
them if possible.
Concentrate on blinking whenever you begin to sense
symptoms of dry or irritated eyes.
Every once in a while (especially when you sense the
symptoms) close your eyes and roll them behind your
closed eye lids. |
If symptoms persist you should consult your eye doctor
for immediate help.
