5 minutes of reading

 

Eye fatigue is becoming more and more common among children and adults today, due to the omnipresence and constant use of screens. The blue light reflected by our electronic devices actually attacks the eyeball, and can, in the short to long term, cause unpleasant ailments or even impact your vision.

What does eye fatigue look like, and what are the tips to help you deal with it? Discover our 10 tips to reduce eye fatigue in this article.

Definition of Eye Strain

 Eye fatigue is manifested by visible redness of the eyes, dry eyes, or feelings of tightness. It can also manifest itself with the appearance of vision disorders (loss of visual acuity, blurred vision, etc.)👀

It occurs following bad habits which attack the eyes and, in the long term, tire them.
Ex :

  • Lack of brightness
  • Concentration too long
  • Poorly printed documents or reading characters that are too small

 Blue light from screens is unfortunately the major cause of eye fatigue problemsToday. 

The screens we use every day - computers, phones, tablets - emit blue light that is not natural for the eyeball and affects the sensitivity of our eyes in the long term.💻

Problem: It's hard to do without them, even if they attack our eyes! So how can we relieve eye fatigue caused by screens? Here are all our tips.

Tip #1: Wear blue light blocking glasses 

You don't need to be short-sighted or astigmatic to wear glasses: just use screens a lot, and you can provide you with a pair of anti-blue glare glasses. 🤓

These special glasses filter out some of the blue light generated by screens, and prevent these blue-violet waves from entering the eye. This helps protect your pretty eyes from the harmful effects of screens, while allowing you to enjoy everything they have to offer!

Tip #2: Moisturize your eyes

 There's nothing more unpleasant than those feelings of tightness, dryness and red eyes, right? However, the solution to remedy them is simple: hy-dra-ta-tion! 

Get yourself some eye drops, also called artificial tears, to rehydrate your eyes. Instantly, the feeling of dryness will disappear, and you will feel how much your little eyes needed to drink!

Tip #3: Hydrate yourself!

In addition to moisturizing your eyes…. Don’t forget to moisturize YOURSELF! Water makes up about 60% of our body mass., and contributes to the proper functioning of all our organs. 💦

Drink 1.5L to 2L of water per day, or alternate with tea, fruit juice, infusions, or water-rich fruits to keep your body always hydrated! 🥤

Tip #4: Massage your eyes to stimulate microcirculation 

Massage is an excellent therapeutic means to cure many ailments. For eye fatigue, massaging the temples and the area around the eyes helps to stimulate micro-blood circulation, and reduce feelings of tightness and dryness.

A daily 15-minute eye massage sessionhelps to rest your eyes that are stressed all day long, and to stimulate the micro-circulation of your face to restore the circulation of fluids.

A simple but rarely applied solution: in case of frequent eye fatigue, it may be wise to watch your screen time, and see if it is possible to reduce it.💻📱

Maybe you don't need to look at social media for 4 hours a day? Or maybe you can read this PDF in paper form? Organize your screen time in a way that optimizes it, and doesn't strain your eyes unnecessarily.

Tip #7: Blink more often 

The very action of Blinking simply helps rehydrate your eyes. In case of eye fatigue, the symptoms of which are often dryness and tightness, blinking helps prevent dryness.

Now this is proven: in front of the screens, only a partial closure of the eyelids is performed, or We blink 3 times less than usual to stay focused. Long periods without blinking can therefore lead to unusual and frequent dry eyes.

Tip #8: Take frequent breaks

It is after spending long periods of time in front of the computer or telephone without stopping that eye fatigue is most noticeable. 

Taking a break, no matter how simple, helps you detach yourself from the screens for a few minutes or hours, and for your eyes to rest. Away from screens, you blink more, avoid drying out, and don't have blue light attacking them... A good excuse to take more coffee breaks!

Tip #9: Change the brightness of your screens

Blue light is largely responsible for your eye fatigue after a long day spent in front of your computer. If you don't have anti-glare glasses and you have to work in front of a screen all day, know that there are many software to "yellow" your screen, and reduce the blue light effect. 

Easy to install, these yellow filters help reduce the strain on your eyes from blue light from screens and excessive brightness. You can also set the filters to darken during the day, adjusting to the changing brightness of the day.

Tip #10: Change your workspace

The size of your screen, its tilt, the distance at which you place it… everything has an impact on your screen consumption and your possible eye fatigue.

If you experience recurring symptoms of eye strain, modify your workspace to make yourself more comfortable:

  • Opt for a bigger screen
  • Change your screen to a better resolution
  • Raise your screen to avoid neck and back pain
  • Place your screen at a reasonable distance so as not to be too close

After these improvements, you should suffer less from eye fatigue, and stay more focused while working in front of your computer!
