5 min read

 

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

What does eye strain look like, and what are the tips for dealing with it? Discover our 10 tips to reduce eye strain 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 with the onset of visual disturbances (loss of visual acuity, blurred vision, etc.) 👀

It occurs following bad habits that 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 screen light unfortunately is the major cause of eye strain problemstoday. 

The screens we use on a daily basis, computers, telephones, tablets, indeed reflect blue light which is not natural for the eyeball, and which 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 do you relieve eye strain caused by screens? Here are all our tips.

Tip #1: Wear Blue Light Blocking Glasses 

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

These special glasses filter part of the blue light generated by the 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 all they have to offer!

Tip #2: Hydrate Your Eyes

 Nothing worse than those feelings of tightness, dryness and red eyes, right? However, the solution to fix it is simple: hy-dra-ta-tion! 

Do you provide 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: Stay hydrated!

In addition to hydrating your eyes…. Don't forget to hydrate YOU! Water makes up about 60% of our body mass, and contributes to the proper functioning of all our organs. 💦

Dehydration or under-hydration affects your health, and can cause skin and eye dryness that gives this feeling of fatigue.

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

Tip #4: Massage your eyes to stimulate micro-circulation 

Massage is an excellent therapeutic means to cure many ailments. For eye fatigue, massage the temples and around the eyes to stimulate blood microcirculation, and reduce feelings of tightness and dryness. 

Eye Massage is a technique that consists of massaging the eyes and eye contour with a specialized massage device. Its benefits are numerous for fatigue, stress, and metabolism, but it is particularly formidable for treating eye fatigue.

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

The different massage functions of the Masque Oculaire provide a feeling of relaxation on the eyes and overall well-being, which will allow you to completely relax!

Tip #5: Use Magnetic Therapy to Reduce Pain Related 

Magnetic therapy is a gentle and natural therapy that uses the power of magnets to treat many ailments. The polarities of the magnets and their positioning on precise acupuncture points of the body (meridians, or energy channels of the body), help to rebalance the harmony of the body, and to resolve tensions and pains. 

In many cases, eye strain causes more than just dry eyes:

- headache

- migraines

- dizziness

- insomnia

- dizziness...

These pains can be a real embarrassment on a daily basis, and impact your physical and moral health as well as your productivity.
An eye massager which uses magnetic therapy and ocular reflexology will allow you to reduce these pains thanks to a targeted relaxing massage. The circular movements and pressures or vibrations carried out on the pain points will make it possible to target the pain in the depths, and to alleviate it with a pleasant and relaxing massage.

Much more than an ally to reduce eye fatigue, an Eye Massager will help you experience an overall more relaxed and pain-free life!

Tip #6: Limit Screen Time

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

Maybe you don't need to watch social media 4 hours a day? Or maybe can read this PDF in hard copy? Organize your screen time in such a way as to optimize it, and not to strain your eyes unnecessarily.

Tip #7: Blink more often 

The very action of blinking simply rehydrates 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 long periods in front of the computer or the telephone without stopping that eye fatigue is felt the most. 

Taking a break, however simple, allows you to step away from screens for a few minutes or hours, and the eyes to rest. Off screens, you blink more, avoid drying out, and don't have blue light that attacks them…. A great excuse to take more coffee breaks!

Tip #9: Change the brightness of your screens

Blue light is largely responsible for your eyestrain 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 is many software to "yellow" your screen, and reduce the blue light effect. 

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

Tip #10: Change your workspace

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

If you have recurring symptoms of eye strain, modify your workspace to feel more comfortable:

  • Go for a bigger screen
  • Change your screen to a better resolution
  • Elevate your screen so you don't hurt your neck and back
  • Put your screen at a reasonable distance so as not to be too close

After these improvements, you should experience less eye strain, and better focus while working in front of your computer!
