Now that people are working from home, lots of time is spent looking at screens and that could cause eye strain. It could be your phone, tablet, laptop or TV. The problem lies in the fact that theres no break from when you sit down to when you finally get up.

Your health is important. So lets understand this and how we can prevent it.

Perhaps when you were growing up, your parents limited the amount of television you watched because they thought it would hurt your eyes. African parents are too guilty of this one. Personally, everything that went wrong was because of uko kwa hio simu sana (you spend too much time on your phone).

Either I didnt finish my homework, or I lost something. It was all due to the phone. Theres a time I got a stomach ache and somehow it was roped into using my phone. I thought that was a bit extreme but It was and is taboo to argue with your mother so I refrained from declining the claims.

Its only natural then that some of you warned your own children to not to do the same. According to experts, staring at the computer, tablet, and smartphone screens will not permanently damage your eyesight. However, doing so can cause some bothersome side effects. Most notably computer vision syndrome (also called digital eye strain).

The most common signs ofComputer Vision Syndrome include:

You could also suffer from glare. Simply put, glare occurs when too much light enters your eye and interferes with your eyes ability to manage it.

If you suffer from any of these symptoms, follow these few steps the next time you sit down to work.

Also, regular short breaks can help to keep you energized and focused. Try setting a countdown timer while you do an hour of work. When the alarm goes off, reward yourself with a five- or 10-minute break. You could make coffee or get some fresh air. Its vital that you get out of your chair during the day.
