How To Avoid Eye-Strain When You are on a Computer

How can you avoid eye-strain when you are on your computer all day? If you wonder why your eyes burn and seem to be so tired it is probably because you do not blink enough. BLINK! When you stare at a monitor your blink rate drops from 20 blinks per minute to only 7 blinks per minute! A rule to remember to help relieve the eye fatigue: 20-20-20 which means you should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

I have the worst time with this rule at the movies. I look like I have cried my eyes out when the movie is over, even when it was a comedy. So embarrassing.
