and happy
 Human
eye is an amazing and delicate mechanism. And eye health
is important for everybody. Keeping your eyes healthy
is really not that difficult, just follow the simple tips
below and your eyes will feel good.

Over a year your prescription can change and you might
need different lenses. If you feel that lenses are not as
comfortable as they used to be, it is possible that your
eyesight changed and you need different correction. In this
case see your doctor even it has been less than a year since
your last visit.

Every 5-10 minutes look away
from your screen and focus on a far away object. It
helps to readjust the focus of your eyes
-
Every now and then close your
eyes for a few second, it remoistenes eyes and prevents
dryness. Also try to blink more often

If you feel that you can’t
stare at the screen anymore take a small break, get
up, walk a little. It is recommended that you take 10
minutes off every hour you work on the computer, not
only for the health of your eyes, but for your legs
and back as well.

Make sure the light isn’t
too bright, if using a desk lamp it shouldn’t
shine into your eyes or on the screen. It is best to
put it sideways

affects the health of your eyes. However it all can be summarized
in a few words.Vitamins are very important for healthy eyes
