In recent years, the world of work has undergone a dramatic transformation with the advent of smart working. This way of working, which allows employees to carry out their tasks from home or from places other than the office, has brought with it a series of challenges and opportunities. One of the often overlooked aspects of this recent way of working is the importance of glasses for eye health and professional productivity. In this article, we will explore how glasses can be a fundamental ally for those who work remotely.
We can do a lot for our eyesight by improving our study and work:
Despite the advantages of smart working, this way of working can pose some health risks, especially for the eyes. Computer, tablet and smartphone screens are now omnipresent in our daily lives and, working remotely, we tend to spend many hours in front of these devices. This can cause eye strain, dry eyes and other eye problems.
This is where glasses come in. Wearing the right glasses can make a difference in your visual comfort and productivity while working remotely. Here are a few reasons why glasses are so important:
Protection from harmful blue rays: Screens emit a significant amount of blue light, which can damage the retina and affect sleep. Glasses with anti-blue light lenses can reduce exposure to this harmful light, protecting your eye health.
Improving Vision: If you have vision problems, corrective glasses can improve your vision, allowing you to work more efficiently and comfortably.
Reduce Eye Fatigue: Specially designed computer glasses can reduce eye fatigue, allowing you to better concentrate on your work.
Improve Posture: Reading glasses can help you maintain proper posture when reading documents or viewing a computer screen, reducing the risk of back and neck problems.
Protection from external agents: If you work in an air-conditioned or heated environment, glasses can protect your eyes from dryness and irritation.
Here are some small and simple tips to follow every day to reduce visual stress:
-
Look up every 20 minutes of intense work
At regular intervals it is good to lift your gaze from the work at close range! This is good for both children and adults. In fact, looking at a distant point by focusing on it and concentrating on the details helps the visual system to relax and maintain its flexibility. -
Have good lighting at the workstation
The rule is that the lighting on our work desk should be 3 times brighter than the rest of the room! It is therefore useful to always adjust the lighting in proportion to avoid reflections and avoid tiring contrasts. -
Pay attention to your posture:
Chest out, shoulders back! You will help your eyes a lot with your posture, and your back will thank you enormously. Posture is the first warning bell when something has changed in your visual system. Poor posture can worsen your vision, vice versa, your vision will make sure that your posture helps compensate for visual imbalances. A bit like your eyes asking your body for help! -
Don't lie down while writing or reading:
For those who like to watch movies on the computer or even worse on the cell phone, this will certainly not be good news! However, let's try to avoid lying down completely simply because in that case it will be difficult to maintain a distance and a balanced vision.
