With the incresed use of computers, tablets and mobiles, more and more people are getting eye strains. Youngsters and young adults are most vulnerable.
The symptoms are:

Keep distance from the monitor.

Hi
Enjoyed your clear and straight to the point explanation.
I need to look at computer screens for long hours and I believe many of us are doing that whether is due to job or hobbly.
Other than suggestions provided in the website as listed. Do you have any product to recommend to help if the eyesight is already impacted?
Thank you.
Warmest Regards

Thank you Mark.
Make sure to wear glasses that protect you from blue light.
Know that some devices, like ipad have an option to lock off the blue light.
Eye drops are great to water your eyes in time also.
Hope this helps a little.
In case of visual problems, make sure to visit a doctor without delay

Hi, Almond.
Thanks for the article on eye problems and injuries . We do not consider eye issues much unless they really become headache or non-tolerable. Computer Vision Syndrom is the most common neglected area.
Your list of outdoor and indoor tips to avoid eye accident and tips for lens wearer are very useful and I have copied them for my future reference in emergency.
Warm Regards,
Gaurav Gaur

Very interesting to read about the various eye problems and injuries, their causes and alternatives that could serve as solutions. Ignorance and laissezfair attitude often leads to causing eye problems. The tips you have given up here are really helpful and I will be more than willing to share this out to more people. Thanks

Wow, this is a really important post here. The eye as we all know is one of the most delicate parts of the body. My mum say a human eye cannot be bought in the market so we should be careful with it. The computer syndrome might be the most high rated out there right now. I kind of think that we should learn to be careful. Thank kfully, many laptops and phones plus other gadgets are getting eyecare feature where blue colours become reduced. Of didn’t know cosmetics are also really harmful. Thank you for adding akk this tips. I’ll be sure to put them in mind.
Your mom is very wise!

Thank you for sharing this information. I know what you mean about computer vision. I use f. Lux to help reduce the blue light and sometimes I also use blue blocking lenses. I have that display you mentioned and it is excellent. It is very high quality and has a great refresh rate. I can tell it is much easier on my eyes compared to older monitors that I sometimes use. If you want to take care of your eyes then that is the way to go.
Hi Chuck, thank you for sharing your experience and information with us. We can not stress enough how important it is to protect our eyes feom artificial lights
