We spend so many hours in front of an image which is always at the same distance that our eyes get lazy and then distance vision becomes more difficult for us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sit<\/strong> properly, with your back fully supported, your feet on the floor or on a foot rest, never dangling, and make sure the seat is at the proper height with respect to the desk, so that your elbow and forearm are at a right angle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stand up<\/strong> at least every half hour. Just change your posture, stretch your back and move your neck and activate your circulation. You only need a minute.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t take a break from your computer to look at your mobile phone. Taking a break means <strong>closing your eyes<\/strong>, blinking, giving yourself a little massage or looking out the window but never at another screen and particularly if it is a smaller one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink some water<\/strong>. Always have a bottle nearby. You will keep your mucous membranes from drying out and your eyes will not bother you so much.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have your eyes checked<\/strong> now and again. Particularly if your eyes are tired or itchy or if they water or you have a headache at the end of the day. Make sure you don\u2019t need glasses or the ones you wear don\u2019t need to be upgraded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take care of your posture and eye sight if you spend long hours in front of a computer Working long hours in front of a computer screen can, in the long run, cause problems for your health if you don\u2019t take special care.
