7. If you are nearsighted and wearing glasses to help see well into the distance, you should not use them for work.
8. When leaving from a warm place to a cold place, you should try at least blink your eyes so they do not feel the sudden transition from warm to cold.
9. You should never get to work or reading as soon as you come from outside, especially in cold weather and windy weather.
10. Never start to do something in the morning before washing your face and eyes.
11. When waking from sleep when the body goes into wakefulness, this is a good time to affect the eye muscles. It is recommended not to miss this opportunity to perform eye exercises, which do not take much time.This definitely prepares your eye muscles for the working day.

The Beauty and Health of Our Sight
Our vision is a priceless gift. But we do not cherish it properly partly because we underestimate the threat of the television and computer on our eyes. But it is extremely difficult to restore vision, and sometimes nearly impossible. Not only do flickering screens affect our eyes, visual acuity is also influenced by medication, headaches, and the condition of vessels. Of course, the optimal and best choice for the problem is to find your way to Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center, but also before and after your visit Dr. Boothe, you can help yourself and be careful of your vision. Dr. Boothe will tell how it is possible.

How to preserve your eyesight

First of all, we already know that the computer is harmful to our eyes, so you should to deal with it carefully. If you buy special lenses or glasses to work with it, it will avoid many problems. If you have to work long hours with text or numbers, be sure that you reboot your eyes with exercises every two hours.

We cannot immediately deduce that a computer monitor directly causes a headache. However, almost 80% of people suffering from bouts of headaches work on laptops / computers. The exercises are very simple and can help significantly. Enclose your face in your hands and blink for half a minute, then close and reopen your eyes. Do not forget to blink more often when you look at the monitor to avoid drying out your eyes.

A great exercise you can do is to take a break from work. Go to a window and look far, far away, for example, at a distant TV tower. Then take a pen and focus clearly at its tip. By hand, move the pen in different directions, and watch the movements with your eyes, but don’t move your head.Of course, the ideal way is to take a break and take a walk along the street, or lie down with your eyes closed for an hour. Never sit in front of TV or monitor if you want your eyes to rest. Suppose that you are surrounded by green color, not light green, namely green because it soothes the nerves, including eye.
Of course, there are products that you need to eat because they contain substances that help maintain eye health. Lutein, vitamin A and C should be consumed every day, but in the dose of what you need individually. Do not forget to wear quality sunglasses, and vice versa, stop the habit of wearing them when you don’t need to. An excellent way to save your vision is to make a cold compress. It could be ice or simply soaked cotton pad on your eyelids. If your eyes turn red, then you need to brew a tea with chamomile (also does not hurt to add sage). If applied to the eyes and then washed this quickly relieves cramps and swelling of the eyelids. Just tea bags will help to quickly relieve fatigue, even if you’re at work.
