Eye care while working on Computer

Vitamin A for healthy eyes:

Vitamin A is an antioxidant found in foods made from animals which includes liver and eggs and in fruits and vegetables like carrots and spinach. Most types of milk are also fortified with vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential to proper functioning of the retina. It also helps prevent night blindness by helping the eye to adapt between bright light and darkness. Vitamin A also helps reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the forming of cataracts. With AMD and cataracts being the leading causes of visual impairment and with the number of people to be effected increasing, getting a good amount of Vitamin A is essential to the eye's health and beauty.

Adjust the position of your monitor :

The biggest cause of eye problems is placing the monitor too high. Our eyes work better and focus more accurately when they're looking slightly downward rather than straight ahead.

Pay attention to surrounding lighting:
Glare or shadows caused by nearby windows can cause eyestrain. To avoid this curtains can be used.

Take eye breaks:
Giving rest to eyes is one of the best way to protect eyes.
