1. Take frequent breaks. 20/20/20 rule
2. Adjust screen position. Height n distance. Adjust screen to reduce glare coming off
3. Adjust the settings of your device to make things easier. (Increase font size, brightness, night shift)
4. Manage your dry eye symptoms.
Exercises (if you don't have any disease, it would be good taking a walk outside.)
1. cuping (1m)
2. Direction (look at the distance) upward 5s, different, down, right, left.

This seriously helped a lot!🥺 I pulled an all-nighter yesterday... and my eyes have been acting up ever since... even a 8hr sleep didn’t fix it!💔 but staring at a distant object for a few seconds gave instant relief! 😍

[alexandrafournier]

I constantly get head aches, and eyes strain...Just ordered blue lightcanceling screens...looking forward to "see" the difference. Appreciate this video for the exercises and relief techniques. Thx!!

When I have headache and eye strain for too much screen time, I just go outside and stare at my mom plants for an hour or two. It helps 🙂 Thank you for this vid, it really helps big time.

3 years later, this video is still useful! Thank you for teaching us the basics of eye health! You truly are helping us all 😊

My optometrist suggested blue light filtering lenses. They changed my life with respect to eye strain. They improved my sleep cycle as well. I was concerned that they would noticeably affect my perception of color, but they didn't. I feel more relaxed at all times now.

I just discovered your channel and I am definitely subscribing. I work 8 hours facing a computer and I feel like my eyesight is getting worse. I was tested November last year with an eye chart and the nurse said my vision is 20/30 on left and right eye, and 20/40 both eyes. they did not recommend anything about me getting eyeglasses since they are really not eye experts. I just went last Thursday to an eye doctor to be properly checked because I am starting to worry about not being able to read and recognize road signs (and people calling my name from few meters away). Aside from the fact that i really have a poor eyesight, the doctor said I also have astigmatism on my left eye. My glasses will be ready in a few days. I was told I should have went to an eye doctor sooner.

I will be watching more of your videos to help me take care of my eyes more. Kudos

Taking a break to try and focus at something further away literally feels so good sometimes. It's like you can feel blood coming back to a muscle that hasn't had proper circulation.

[FannAguinaldo]

Thank you! I've been experiencing the effects of eye strain from working on the computer for long periods, more now than ever. I definitely need to get my eyes checked, but these tips are great. The exercises have provided some relief, thank you!

[rainerknoll]

I remember doing these kind of exercices as a kid naturally without thinking about it. Its really the excessive screen time lowering the mobility of the eyes. I experienced that sometimes my eyes didnt want to move at all and thus missing many informations and details about my surroundings and even seeing 3d. Doing these excerises really helped getting my eyes back into continually movement and especially peripheric vision. Thanks!

[colleenallan]

Thank you so much. I have been overdoing the screen-time and really suffering for the last couple of days with excruciating headache and sore eyes, thinking I must have a brain tumour 🙄😂. This has helped a lot 🙏
