đď¸Strain Headaches & the 20-20-20 Rule!
Some individuals that work at the computer all day are more likely to have eye-strain issues, headaches and dry eyes.
This is why I recommend following the 20-20-20 rule.
The rule is for every 20 minutes of continuous computer work you give yourself at least a 20 second break while looking at an object 20 feet away.
Individuals who do this notice less eye strain issues and less frequent dry eyes.
A simple way to put the 20-20-20 rule into action is when you are about to sit down for over 20 minutes of concentrated work, set a timer on your phone for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. After youâre âat leastâ 20 second rest, set the timer again start working and repeat. Your eye muscles will thank you.
