I know many mylotters are working hard as me, and get sore eyes. so why not exercise your eyes regularly? here are some hints: It's more important to do the exercises regularly than to do them for a long time. Even 30-60 seconds of eye movement every hour is very helpful. For example, when your computer takes its sweet time to do something, most people just stare at the poor thing and waste the time,you can make a few circles with your eyes. Even the first day you do this, you should notice that, when you finish working, your eyes aren't as tired as usual. Taking short breaks from near work (e.g. staring at a computer monitor) to stare out to the distance also relieves some strain. Palming is a good method to help your eyes feel better. You close your eyes and put you palms over them, this will rest your eyes. Blink the eyes many times. Splash your eyes with cold water repeatedly when feasible, and especially when your eyes are strained.

Good tips, tudors! I get up when myLot lags and go and do something here indoors that was left unattended when I came to my computer. There is alwasy something to do that gives our eyes a break and gets us off here too - and gets the other things done! I shall now press submit and go and make a cuppa - want some?

Thank you so much for your sharing, which is so helpful. i will do accordingly. In addition, I believe proper diet is also important. Less fried or baked food, and more steamed or boiled food, esp. fish will definitely good to eyes.
