Dangers of Prolong Use of Computers: Health Risks of Computer Screens on the Human Eyes.

 

Causes

Overuse is the most common cause of repetitive strain from computer screens. It has been shown that people blink less when using a computer, which leads to dry eyes, discomfort and fatigue. Additionally, continually focusing on a visual object a constant distance away, such as a computer screen, can lead to eyesight degradation or impaired eye coordination. Neck and back strain can result from the monitor being at the incorrect viewing angle.

Identification

Chronic dry eyes are a sure sign of computer overuse. If you must resort to using eye drops every day, or several times per day, it is extremely likely you need to consider reducing your time spent at a computer. A recurring dull headache should also be considered a warning sign. A possible neck injury can be identified by an inability to hold the head still for extended periods without discomfort.

Prevention

Operating a computer in an ergonomically sound manner, with regular breaks, can help you avoid repetitive strain injuries. A computer monitor should be positioned so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level, around an arm's length away and directly in front of you. If the screen is the proper distance away, it should not be necessary to bend the neck to view the entire area. Avoid using a CRT monitor that cannot handle a refresh rate of at least 85 hertz to prevent headaches, or use an LCD monitor. Work in an area that is neither overly bright nor overly dark, with the light source offset from the eyes at a 45-degree angle to avoid glare. Lastly, take regular breaks. Once every hour, a moment should be taken to stand up, move the muscles and refocus the eyes on different objects.

6 Ways To Have Healthier And Sharper Eyes

 



1. Sleep more

It is found that lack of sleep leads
to problems like eye spasms. You
can find this very aggravating
although it is not very painful.
Apart from this, lack of sleep can
also lead to ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). This is due to
damage of optic nerves and will
cause immense pain when you
wake up everyday. Glaucoma is
also attributed for lack of sleep.

vision that ultimately leads to vision that ultimately leads to

activities that make you feel relaxed before sleeping.

Reasons to Drink adequate Water

People seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks).

When your water intake does not equal your output, you can become dehydrated. Fluid losses are accentuated in warmer climates, during strenuous exercise, in high altitudes, and in older adults, whose sense of thirst may not be as sharp.

Here are six reasons to make sure you're drinking enough water or other fluids every day:

1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.

"Through the posterior pituitary gland, your brain communicates with your kidneys and tells it how  much water to excrete as urine or hold onto for reserves.

When you're low on fluids, the brain triggers the body's thirst mechanism.
