Eye care

Question

What do you do to take care of you eyes? As a programmer, I need to sit on my PC for long which strains my eyes.

Answer 1

take more breaks. five minutes every hour.
I wear glasses with a special coating which is made for working with computers. I don't really know how to explain it in English.

Answer 2

I think it's called EMI coating. most vendors offer this, so yes, you should be able to get that online too.

Answer 3

Try setting the screen color temperature to warmer. Warm colors are more relaxing for your eyes.

Answer 4

Can you tell me what coating it is? And will I get that online?

Answer 5

What if:
i am in my room, at night (dark), on my phone, under my blanket (coding)

what would you guys say i do (for eye health)?

, because it's not like i'm gonna get up, and look miles away.

Answer 6

and I already use blue light filters

Answer 7

So many useful advices here. I'd suggest from time to time to put your palms onto the eyes so you couldn't see any light (palms are slightly crossed) but can hold eyes opened under your hands. Thus you'll see absolutely nothing in the darkness...and keep silence for a 20-30 sec's. It is very useful for recovering the eyes straight and relax from the pc.

Answer 8

okay

Answer 9

also, I want to increase font size of sololearn q&a

Answer 10

I am same to you but I sit on my mobile

Answer 11

My monitor has an eye saver mode which reduces colors that hurt eyes. It becomes orange-ish and immediately relaxing. You can work comfortably even in compete darkness.

Answer 12

I also suggest during breaks, looking at very far away and then to something very close. It is a workout for eye muscles that get lazy by looking at the same distance for a long time.

Answer 13

for the glasses coating, i wouldnt really call coating. ask your eye doctor for anti reflect lenses. well probably theres some form of coating that i dont know off.

Answer 14

If you can't look away from the screen frequently and you want to vent your eye pain somewhere, you can poke this simulated eye. https://code.sololearn.com/WkjYmMJ025jn
