While we do not realize, eyes, our windows to the world are indeed the most important part of our body. Especially, when we are working or on video display. It is the only way in which millions of computer users procure information to work worldwide. And therefore eyecare is very important to prevent any kind of hindrances to our work caused by any kind of eye problems.

Most of our work today is related to computers and it is a visually straining work which along with the fast-paced life does not provide us with any time to take care of our eyes. If we are thinking of improving the computer’s efficiency as a machine involved in the process of production, then we should also optimize our vision to cater to the demands of our body’s efficiency.

Some Tips for Eye Care

It is important for you to first of all know your eyes.

- Tears - Acts as a lubricant, keeps the eyes moist and nourished. They also have a lens corrective function.

- Eyelids - Protects the eyes from dirt, harsh light and dust.

- Eyelashes - They also protect your eyes by not allowing all kinds of particles to enter the eyes

- Cornea - A refractive zone that guides light to reach the retina.

- Pupils - Controls the amount of light that enters the eyes.

- Lens - The refractive zone that also guides light into the retina.

- Retina and Optic Nerve - A bundle of intricate nerves that carries vision signals between your brain and eyes.

Exercise Your Eyes

Regular work hours should be infused with short breaks. You can try a small and easy exercise during one of such breaks: "First, blink your eyes several times. While you keep your eyes closed, roll your eyeballs both clockwise and anticlockwise and take a deep breath. Slowly and gradually open your eyes while releasing your breath. This exercise lasts for a minute and you can repeat it three times before getting back to work." This serves as a good workout for the eyes.

Look away-One should always take visual breaks while working. This can be done by looking at distant objects in between and then returning the focus to the computer screen after 10 minutes. This helps to concentrate better.

Palming-Sitting straight and rubbing your hands until you feel warm helps to relax and soothe stressed eyes in a different way. After you rub your hands, close your eyes and place the warm palms cupped over them. You can rest your elbows on the desk or do it without keeping your elbows on the desk. Repeat this exercise as many times as you want.

Wash your eyes-Splash your eyes with water during breaks and as frequently as you can. It keeps your eyes clean and also cools them giving them a rejuvenated feeling.

Therefore, in an era of unhealthy lifestyles and intensive work pressure we suggest that you try out these tips to improve your eyecare and vision. Because healthy eyesight will improve your work efficiency and enable you to give your very best at work without letting those eyes get tired.
