There’s a pretty good chance that growing up you heard that looking at a computer screen for too long can damage your precious eyes, right? Wrong. Whether it is at your office or on your Fort Myers real estate, staring at a monitor all day does not cause harm to your eyes. What does harm your vision is not blinking enough while you are reading or watching a video on your computer screen. The same damage can be done by scrolling through your favorite magazine or watching the latest 3D action flick on the big screen. The real enemy is your eyes’ dryness and fatigue. Fortunately, there are a few easy tricks to keep your eyes as healthy as possible. You just have to keep them moist and energized throughout the day.

To start, make sure that your computer monitor is about 2 feet away from you. Also, you can always give your eyes a little break from the computer. On a regular basis, stand up and stretch out your muscles. Grab the dog leash and take the little puppy for a nice stroll through the neighborhood. Look at homes for sale in Fort Myers. Then grab a cup of coffee or a bottle of water and relieve any strain from your eyes while checking out all of the different Fort Myers homes for sale. Many people even depend on eye drops to keep their vision from getting blurred.

Medical research has concluded that computers have tiny bits of radiation that can harm the human body. Yet, the damage done to your overall vision is minimal. Yet, you may find yourself getting a headache and having trouble staying focused for a long period of time. You simply cannot blame it on the screen. It is the computer’s insufficient setting, probably with poor lighting. Other times, it may be that you simply needed glasses before you went to work in front of a computer screen all day.

The reason that your eyes get strained is that their muscles get overworked. They get tired, begin to ache, and your overall vision gets blurry. To prevent such problems, avoid sitting the same distance from your computer screen for too long. After an hour or so, simply move your chair an inch or two. Make sure that you are never reading anything too close to your eyes and that there is adequate light in the room. Steer clear of any glares from overhead. Always avoid squinting your eyes. At the same time, never rely on another person’s prescription glasses or any pair that is outdated, even if you find them in your Fort Myers luxury home.

You can always see a medical professional to look at your eyes and inspect them for underlying issues, like an ocular allergy or an eye muscle imbalance. Get an ophthalmologist’s opinion on how to help your vision. He or she will tell you to keep your eyes strong and hydrated. One thing is for sure, the doctor won’t tell you to stop working on a computer all day.
