Here are some eye exercises which I&#8217;ve personally found help with eye strain:</p>
<h3>1. Close Your Eyes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Close your eyes for 5 seconds.</li>
<li>Open your eyes for 5 seconds.</li>
<li>Repeat until relief from the eye strain symptoms (usually 10-12 repetitions)</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Palming</h3>
<ul>
<li> Rub your hands until they are warm. Cup your hands over your closed eyes, your fingers should overlap and rest on your forehead, leaving your nose uncovered.</li>
<li>Make sure no light is able to enter your eyes.</li>
<li>After approximately three minutes you should see complete blackness (no traces of color or lines). Repeat until relief is acheived.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h3>Eye Strain Relief Tips</h3>
<p>Eye strain is something that can be caused by literally anything. It can be caused by simple things such as watching too much TV to squinting excessively to read fine print at long distances. Whatever the case, experiencing eye strain is a very uncomfortable situation, and it can actually be prevented if the correct steps are taken. Here are a few methods to help you in your eye strain relief efforts.</p>
<h3>
Eye Drops</h3>
<p>Eyes drops can be your best friend if you’re someone who commonly experiences constant eye strain. Eye drops help moisturize and oxygenate your eyes, which will keep them healthy, and more importantly feeling good. Any drops will do, and they can be easily (and cheaply) purchased at any local pharmacy or retail store.</p>
<h3>
Wearing Appropriate Eye-Wear</h3>
<p>Wearing appropriate eye-wear for the situation at hand is crucial to eliminating eye strain problems. If it’s excessively sunny outside then you should wear sunglasses. If you have been diagnosed with impaired vision then it’s crucial that you always wear your prescribed glasses or contact lenses. You should also be sure to dispose of your contact lenses when instructed to do so; never wear contact lenses longer than intended – this can cause serious eye strain problem and sometimes bacterial infections and other serious health risks.</p>
<h4>
Take Breaks</h4>
<p>In the end the best thing you can do to help prevent eye strain is to take a break from whatever it is that you’re doing. Looking at anything for an extended period of time is bound to give your eye problems, so take a walk, or re focus your eyes on something else for a little while then resume what you were doing. This is probably the best, and most effective way to prevent any kind of eye strain you may encounter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Preventing Eye Strain By Adjusting Your Computer Screen</strong></p>
<p>Computer usage is most commonly known to include long hours of work where the user needs to stay focused in order to complete the task at hand, and with this increased workload on the computer people are beginning to notice more sever, and more frequent eye strain problems. There are several ways to combat this eye strain problem caused by long-term computer use; you can choose to physically take breaks away from your computer, or you can opt to make eye strain computer screen adjustments that will help prevent the problem altogether. Here are some computer screen adjustments you can make to help eliminate any kind of eye strain.</p>
<p><strong>Adjusting the Brightness</strong></p>
<p>One of the most common causes of eye strain while operating a computer is incorrect brightness settings; where the screen is either too bright, or not bright enough. If the screen is too bright then your eyes are being over exposed to light and will eventually be strained, and with insufficient brightness your eyes will have to work too hard to correct read letters on the screen, also causing eye strain. You should adjust your computer screen to be bright enough to where you can read letters and see images comfortably, but not so bright to the point that your eyes are overpowered.</p>
<p><strong>Raising or Lowering Your Computer Screen</strong></p>
<p>Another adjustment that should be made to your computer screen to help eliminate eye strain is screen height. If your computer screen is too high or too low then your eyes will eventually be strained because of the angle caused by the incorrect height. The perfect height for a computer screen is having the top of the LCD screen level with your eyes. This way you won’t experience any kind of eye strain while looking at your computer screen for the long hours you’re forced to work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Preventing Eye Strain While Using A Computer</strong></p>
<p>Computers are largely the main reason why eye strain is an ever growing problem in today’s technological world. People are being forced to do more and more work on their computers instead of physical work, and this is causing a multitude of problems – eye strain being one of the main problems. The good news is that only minimal changes have to be made to eliminate eye strain computer problems completely. Here are some of the small changes that will help keep you focused and avoiding any kind of eye strain/irritation while using a computer.</p>
<p><strong>Blink Frequently</strong></p>
<p>While this may sound like something you don’t need to think about, when you’re staring into a computer monitor your eye naturally blinks less often, which leads to dry eyes, and eventually to eye strain. To fight this problem all you have to do is blink every 20 or so seconds. You’ll eventually teach your eyes to blink normally while behind a computer screen rather than blinking less frequently.</p>
<p><strong>Look Somewhere Else For a Change</strong></p>
<p>Computer work oftentimes requires extended periods of high-concentration and while you’re mind is engaged in your work your eyes will be forced to stare into the same spot, and at the same distance for extended periods of times. After 30-60 minutes of staring into the same computer monitor your eyes will begin to strain, your vision will begin to falter, and that’s when you’ll know it’s time for a break. In order to prevent this uncomfortable ordeal all you have to do is look away from your computer monitor from time to time and focus your eyes onto a different object. The object should be fairly far away (definitely much farther than your monitor), and it should be an object that you’re able to see well; you don’t want to be looking at a poster where you have to read the fine print.</p>

<p>The most common computer eye strain symptoms are as follows: dry eyes, sore eyes, blurry vision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Prevent Yourself From Getting An Eye Strain Headache</strong></p>
<p>Eye strain is a growing problem today, especially with society’s growing reliance on technology and people looking into TVs, monitors, and phones for extended periods of time. Eye strain can cause a multitude of problems, ranging from depleted vision, to the most popular symptom – a headache. Most headaches are manageable and you can continue working through them, but a headache cause by eye strain is usually much more severe, and much more painful. Luckily, there are several ways to prevent you from getting an eye strain headache, and if done properly prevent the eye strain problem entirely.</p>
<p><strong>Re-Focus Your Eyes</strong></p>
<p>When you’re deeply involved with your work it’s easy to spend countless hours staring into the same screen, with minimal blinking. While it’s ok to stare into your monitor/TV for a little while, after about 30 minutes or so it becomes very taxing on your eyes and your mind. You’ll find your eyes hurting, and an unbearable headache forming in the back of your head. To prevent this from happening re-focus your eyes onto something farther away, such as the other corner of your room. Keep your eyes locked onto the new object for 10-30 seconds, and then you can resume looking at whatever it was you were looking at.</p>
<p><strong>Take Frequent Breaks</strong></p>
<p>After a while re-focusing your eyes just won’t cut it and you’ll have to take a short break in order to prevent an eye strain headache. After 2 or so hours you should stand up and take a short walk. Spend a good 5-10 minutes either stretching or just taking your mind off of what you were previously doing. This little break will help your mind relax and help relieve any accumulated stress.</p>
