Eye Care and Eye Wear in New York

According to some studies, as many as half of all computer users will experience some type of headache, blurred vision or even eyestrain from using their computer for a sustained amount of time on a regular basis. There has also been the establishment of heavy computer use and the risk of developing glaucoma.

Eye care needs to be a focal point of your daily use of the computer. The glare, poor lighting conditions, screen flicker rate and other factors all cause visual stress, which can lead to pain, discomfort and in some cases, poor eye health.

To avoid these problems, brush up on some eye care tips, including using eye exercises such as palming which allows you to cover one of your eyes with your hand until your eyes see nothing but blackness. Home eye care such as head rolls and even hydrotherapy, where a bowl of steaming water is placed in front of you to allow the effects of the steam to relax your eyes, can also be helpful. Use a wash cloth from that hot water placed over your eyes, without allowing them to touch the eyes. Doing this can ease eye strain and improve your eye care.
