Why Workplace Eye Wellness Matters
Spending extended hours in front of digital devices can cause a condition known as Digital Eye Strain (Computer Vision Syndrome).
Common symptoms include:
- Eye fatigue and heaviness
- Headache
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Burning or dry eyes
- Neck and shoulder pain
If ignored, these issues can reduce productivity and even worsen existing vision problems.
The 20-20-20 Rule: A Simple Daily Habit
One of the most effective ways to reduce digital strain is the 20-20-20 rule:
- Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
This relaxes the focusing muscles of your eyes and helps prevent fatigue.
Practical Tips for Healthy Eyes at Work
1. Blink More Often
Staring at screens reduces natural blinking. Consciously blinking more often prevents dry eyes.
2. Adjust Your Workspace
The hospital should offer a comprehensive range of services, including
- Keep your screen 20–24 inches away.
- The monitor should be slightly below eye level.
- Use an anti-glare filter if needed.
3. Follow Proper Lighting
Avoid harsh overhead lights. Instead, use softer room lighting and minimize glare from windows.
4. Use Artificial Tears if Needed
Over-the-counter lubricating drops can provide relief from dryness caused by AC rooms.
5. Get Regular Eye Check-Ups
Routine eye exams help detect vision changes, refractive errors, or early signs of eye diseases.
Blue Light & Workplace Eye Health
Excessive exposure to blue light from screens can disturb sleep patterns and contribute to eye strain. Protective solutions include:
- Blue-light filtering glasses
- Night mode / warm light settings on devices
- Reducing screen time after work hours
