Visual fatigue office worker

With the popularity of computer applications, many office workers also suffer from visual fatigue. Here are some ways to prevent vision fatigue in office workers:

First, use your computer properly

1. Change the screen quality to avoid flicker. Too low or too high brightness will cause visual fatigue. It is necessary to adjust and replace the screen in time to obtain good picture quality and sharpness. When the screen brightness is 20d / m2 and the contrast ratio is 8: 1 12: 1, appropriate visual effects can be obtained. .

2. Improve sitting posture. It is recommended that the seat adopt a pentagonal seat with good stability, adjustable height and backrest. The forearm is naturally bent at 90 degrees and placed flat on the keyboard. The operator is 50 to 60 cm from the screen and the angle of sight is 30 degrees downward.

3. Improve lighting conditions. The lighting requirements in front of the computer monitor are to ensure that the keyboard and the screen can be seen at the same time, and to avoid reflections and flickers on the screen. Do not generate glare in the lighting (to avoid bright spots of light sources in front of the operator's eyes). Strong, the brightness contrast between the center of the field of view and the environment should not exceed 1:10, and the operator is best not to face the window directly. The vast majority of studies have pointed out that the light level of the display work area is 200-500lux (lux). If you're not sure if the light is right, you can monitor with an eye protection light pen.

4. Improve the surrounding environment. The room is well ventilated to ensure adequate fresh air. The temperature is suitable and an environment with a certain humidity is beneficial to reduce the dryness of the eyes. It is necessary to avoid the air of the air conditioner from directly blowing on the eyes. If necessary, place a humidifier. No smoking indoors. Do not use mosquito coils or spray insecticides.

Second, use eye drops properly

1. When using eye drops to treat vision fatigue, we must first prescribe the right medicine and choose eye drops that can treat vision fatigue.

2. Use eye drops to treat vision fatigue. The biggest function is to keep the eyeballs moist through the components of the eye drops, thereby alleviating some symptoms such as dry eyes. Therefore, it is best to choose eye drops containing sodium hyaluronate, the natural tear component of the human body, so that the side effects are smaller.

3. 1-2 drops of eye drops are sufficient each time, because the capacity of the eyeball determines that only 1-2 drops of eye drops can be received. Some people think that more drops are good, but it is actually waste.

4. It is advisable to drip 3-5 times a day. Some people think that the effect of several drops is good. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Eye drops are drugs after all. Therefore, when choosing eye drops, try to choose eye drops with good sustained-release properties, such as eye drops of colloidal preparations, because the same number of uses can maintain longer moisturization.

Third, massage

1. Press the eyeball method. With your eyes closed, gently press the eyeball with the index finger, middle finger, or ring finger, or you can rotate and rub. Can't last for too long or rub it hard, stop in about 20 seconds.

2. Press the forehead method. Each of the three fingers of both hands rotates and rubs from the center of the forehead to the left and right temples, and then presses hard on the temples, which can be applied with the fingertips. So the bottom of the eye will feel comfortable. Repeat 3 to 5 times.

3. Press between the eyebrows. Stick the abdomen of the thumb to the recess under the root of the eyebrows, and press or turn gently. Repeat 3 times. Eyes look far away, and the eyeballs are turned to the right, up, left, and down, and the head must not be shaken.

Fourth, other attention

Always ensure adequate sleep, work and rest, balanced diet, eat more cereals, beans, fruits, vegetables and animal livers, and have a regular life. Eye diseases and other systemic diseases should be promptly diagnosed and treated; pay attention to the regulation and protection of the eyes.

Blink at least 300 times per hour. Normal people between the ages of 20 and 40 blink about 20 times per minute, and when they open their eyes and stare at a fast-moving computer screen, the number of blinks will be reduced to 4 to 5 times per minute, causing severe lack of tear secretion and eyes Dry and sour symptoms. So deliberately blinking is very effective for eye protection. Generally speaking, it s more appropriate to blink 300 times a day, which not only helps to promote tear secretion and alleviate the symptoms of dryness and astringency, but also cleans the eyes and gives a small massage to the eyes to relieve eye fatigue.

In addition, often fumigating your eyes with hot water, hot towels or steam can promote blood circulation in the eyes and alleviate eye fatigue.
