Smartworking: how to protect your eyesight
In recent years, smart working has revolutionized the world of work, bringing flexibility but also new challenges, especially for eye health . Spending hours in front of computer, tablet and smartphone screens can cause visual fatigue , dry eyes and other problems. In this article we discover how glasses and simple habits can improve your visual well-being and productivity while working from home.
Why are glasses essential in smart working?
Prolonged exposure to digital screens is now a constant in smart working, but the right glasses can make the difference. Here are the main benefits:
- Blue Light Protection: Screens emit harmful blue light that can damage the retina and disrupt sleep. Blue light blocking glasses reduce this risk, improving visual comfort.
- Better Vision: For those with poor vision, corrective glasses optimize sharpness, making work more efficient.
- Less Eye Strain: Computer glasses relieve eye strain, helping you stay focused.
- Correct posture: Reading glasses promote an ergonomic position, reducing tension in the neck and back.
- Environmental protection: In dry air environments (air conditioned or heated), glasses prevent irritation and dryness.
4 Practical Tips for Your Eye Health
Here are four simple daily habits to reduce visual stress while smart working:
- Break every 20 minutes: Look up from the screen every 20 minutes and stare at a distant point to relax your eyes. This exercise, useful for all ages, maintains the flexibility of the visual system.
- Optimal lighting: Make sure the light on your desk is three times brighter than the rest of the room. Adjust the lighting to avoid glare and fatiguing contrasts.
- Pay attention to your posture: Keep your chest out and your shoulders back. A good posture helps your eyes and prevents back problems, compensating for any visual imbalances.
- Avoid lying down: Do not read or watch screens while lying down: maintaining a balanced distance is essential for healthy vision.
